Playing in the NL Holdem tourney at the local casino last night and had it folded around to me in the small blind...blinds were 100/200 so since I had 100 chip in, I tossed a 500 chip in without saying anything, making it 600 to go. As I did so, the dealer looks at me, pauses and says that since I did not say raise, it is only a call due to the oversize chip rule in the small blind. I play here often and I have never heard any dealer tell anyone this before, but I know this dealer has been around for a couple years, so I did not question it. I also did not hear it during the pretourney rules breakdown, but I have heard that so often, I do tend to tune it out. Just curious what the thoughts may be on this. I should also say that I did win a modest pot on the flop in this hand so I am not posting this out of frustration.
