Question about a all in.

I just came from a local tournament and I was looking into something that happened and wondered if this was right. I was the big blind (200/400) with a chipstack of 1900 after I put my blind in. Someone raised to 800 and I went to call. I had 3 green (500's) and 4 blues (100's) in my hand I had all the chips in my hand and I went to call the 400 and hadn't said a word. I laid down the four blues to call and the man said call. I said call what? I haven't announced anything. They said because I had my chips in my had and made a notion like I was moving all in that he was calling me all in. I hadn't said all in or laid the chips on the table I was simply counting out the blues. I actually was ahead of the guy (pocket 6's vs. A7) and lost the hand as a 7 came on the flop. I was just wondering if that really was a all-in.

    shove pre, you were like a 55/45 so basically a race.

    I know the math. That wasn't my question. I just didn't believe it was a all in.

    you'll have to describe it better... you put the 400 in and didn't say anything? if so, that's a call. If you put them all in and then tried to take them out, it's an all in. Always, Always announce your action 1st... That's what we teach all new live players.

    Sounds like he is saying that, after the raise to 800 (400 back to hero in the BB), he had his remaining stack in his hand, and reached out to drop the appropriate chips to call, and the villain immediately said "call", before hero could complete his intended action.

    If this is what occurred, then Villain acted prematurely, as Hero had not declared his action. Having said that, hero should be a little more sensible and verbalize his action clearly, or leave his stack alone, and count out his chips before moving them forward.

    He had all his chips in the one hand as he was trying to drop the 4 blues to call the opponent thought they were all going in. I think moving all your chips toward the pot puts you all in. Keep your stack on the table imo.

    I see this all the time in the last couple of years. I'm with you, once you move your entire stack forward whether in you hand or not it should be a bet, and is in some casinos. However the opp should have waited for action to complete before acting himself. If this is the scenario, both sound inexperienced...
