String bet

Basic Definition

A string bet refers to the act of placing chips in multiple motions when making a bet or raise in live poker. This action is considered cheating and is prohibited, and penalties may be imposed according to house rules.

Specific Situation

• When you place a bet, if you first put $50 worth of chips on the table and then try to add another $50, this may be considered a string bet.

Important Information

• This rule is in place not only to prevent intentional cheating but also to ensure the game progresses smoothly. Beginners need to be particularly careful.
