Lol , you ' re a bad statistician then . Stuff like this is used in statistics all the time and if you don ' t understand the definition of random then maybe it ' s time to switch fields . <| sep |> I appreciate you for that . <| sep |> ACTUALLY TDA rule # 52 52 NonStandard Unclear BettingPlayers use unofficial betting terms and gestures at their own risk . These may be interpreted to mean other than what the player intended . Also , if a declared bet can reasonably have multiple meanings , it will be ruled the lesser value . Ex NLHE 200400 blinds , player declares I bet five . If it is unclear whether five means 500 or 5 , 000 , the bet is 500 . The illustrated addendum gives a little more leeway , saying that TDs should act in the best interest of the gamemost reasonable . Here ' s the example Example 2 NLHE 75150 blinds . Preflop there is 3200 in the pot . Post flop Player A opens for 2000 . Players C , D , and E call . There is now 11 , 200 in the pot . On the turn Player A declares Bet , five , then tosses out a 5000 chip . While both 500 and 5000 are technically viable bets here , 5000 is much more in keeping with recent betting action which is in increments of 1000 and pot size which at 11 , 200 is more than double the maximum amount of A ' s bet . This said , the TD may determine it is in the best interest of the game to enforce betting discipline and rule the bet is 500 . So it ' s up to the TD ' s discretion but in a lot of spots you ' ll probably get ruled against for fear that you may be angling . Edit Just reread and saw that the blinds were 61200 . So you couldn ' t have bet 600 anyway .
