String bet

A String Bet is a bet that is made in more than one movement without a player stating how much they intend to put in. String Bets are against the rules in all respectable poker games and tournaments.

e.g "Amanda put 2,000 chips in the pot before reaching for 8,000 more and then stating a bet for 10,000. This was disallowed on the grounds of being a String Bet."
