So there was a huge thread today on 2+2 on how while playing NL25 if you raise $25 in an unraised pot it only adds 1 chip to the table, and shows up as "Call $25" instead of "Call $.25". So it appears to people at first glance its just a min-raise. Well, i had to try it.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY.

After the flop when i went all in for the other .30 he just sat there stunned then eventually called, then instantly left the table.

Obviously you shouldnt be doing it with AK as i got lucky and won basically a coinflip, but i had to try it. First time and someone falls for it.

Kinda a dick move, yes, but if your stupid enough to call $25 instead of $.25 (the chips are different colors), then well, im more then happy to take your money.

Just something funny. The OP on 2+2 had a bunch of HH's and said hes done it hundreds of times successfully

LOL, holy crap. This move is mint if your table is full of multi tablers.

UB

Works on PS aswell

gonna have to try that. It doesn't surprise me, it's the kinda thing i'd do

yeah it is a sick move. so many times I was close to calling b/c on UB i see 25 as minimum, b/c i play nl 25 and everyone always limps. Luckily UB added those anoying bet amount things on table.

thats the cheapest shit ive ever seen. not like you can do that at a live game
