* The action of betting is physically defined as the release of chips after a single, forward motion.
* Above all, verbal declarations in turn are binding. A player who declares a call, raise, fold, must do so to the limit that the chips allow. If simultaneous declarations are made (tossing in a raise and saying call), the verbal declaration takes precedence.
* Action out of turn is not binding, however for the remainder of that betting round the player acting out of turn may only call or check.
* Check-raising (checking, then later raising over a bet) is allowed.
* String betting (placing out bets with more than one motion without verbally declaring your intention) is forbidden. Any betting motions after the first motion will be dismissed.
* In no limit or pot limit, by stating the word "raise", a player protects his right to raise, but the raise must be made in one additional motion unless they state the amount.
* In no limit or pot limit, a bet must be at least the amount of the big blind.
* In no limit or pot limit, a raise must be at least the amount of the previous bet.
* If a player puts in a bet below the minimum allowed that is equal or above 50%, the player will be required to make a full raise. The raise will be exactly the minimum raise allowed. If a player cannot cover the full minimum raise, he or she must go all-in.
* If a player puts in an amount that is less than 50% of the minimum allowed bet, the player is considered to have called and is returned the excess chips.
* In no-limit, before the flop, an oversized chip is a call.
* In no limit, after the flop, an oversized chip by the initial bettor will constitute the size of the bet.
* In no limit, after the flop, an oversized chip by a player facing a bet will be considered a call.
* In no limit, if a player states just the word "raise" and throws in an oversized chip, the raise will be that amount.
