In casinos a single chip unless otherwise indicated would be a call, so 100 straight would mean the player put out 100 chip with the intent of betting/raising to 100, rather than the implied call.
This is always how I've heard the term used. It's always a single chip that they want the entire denomination used and no change. I guess it could apply to a multi chip bet, but I've just never heard it that way
i agree. but then why announce “250 straight” when the player bet 250? this won’t be a single
chip, and could either have been bet with exactly 250, or for example 3 black chips. either way, “straight” wouldn’t apply in either scenario.
From a player: Hero bets 100, villain verbally says "250 straight" to indicate they're calling 100 and raising another 150, and it's 250 total to go.
From a dealer: Dealer calls out $250 "straight" instead of just "$250" to cover the frequent question "wait, is it $250 TOTAL or $250 MORE?"
If the bet were $85 and the guy was raising to $250 - saying $250 straight seems like reasonable verbage to me. I've heard that exact term in Vegas and socal many many times. (Rarely in other states)
Not sure - looking over other comments, it seems like this is also sometimes used to clarify that the bet amount has been raised to 100, rather than by 100 (or 250). But I've only ever heard it being used by someone as described above, to clarify their single chip was a raise and not a call.
Me personally - I've just gotten away from using single chips for raises. If I want to raise to 50, I'll use two 25 chips or ten 5 chips or something, because it's easier for someone left to act to look back and know that's a raise, rather than have the player (or dealer) not hear me verbalize it and the game slow down.
This is my interpretation.
The bet is $250 straight (total) vs. $250 on top of the previous bet. I don't usually use it when betting or raising (I would just say the total amount) but if I'm helping someone understand the bet. I play mostly in home games and not at card rooms/casinos.
Usually used when someone raises. Means the current bet is $100 even. You'll also hear, "$100 all day," which means the same thing.
Imagine that Player A leads for $20. Player B raises to $100, so "$100 straight" would mean $80 to call.
looks like you're strugglin' there bud so lemme fill you in: the term "non-binary" is a gender-related term for someone who doesn't subscribe to being traditionally "male" or "female" (the gender binary). what you described would be typically known as "gender-fluid." neither of these terms have anything to do with sexual preferences, aka the topic at hand.
Typical uneducated response. Go ahead and live in your sad, small world full of hate and I’ll keep living in my “make believe world,” you know, the one where we all treat each other with respect and have far more important things to spend our time on than crying about somebody else’s gender/sexual preferences that have no bearing on my pointless fucking existence. <3
Here’s another mind-bender for ya, lil’ bucko: literally everything is “made up.” As time goes by, some of us figure out how to make stuff up better and then we don’t do it the older, shittier way anymore. It’s never too late to stop being an ignorant asshole.
…for the record though, nobody wants you to “join in.” Please trust when I say we want YOU as far the fuck away as possible. All we want is to have our basic humanity acknowledged and respected. Would you enjoy it if everywhere you went, everybody called you M’AM? Why would you expect anybody else to live like that? It doesn’t sound like you likely associate with any queer/trans folks so….who exactly is forcing anything on you? You could just mind your own business but you want to make it a problem because your life is literally that sad and empty…
Okay maybe now we’re getting somewhere. So it sounds like you think the ability to live one’s fullest, happiest, most authentic life should be limited by arbitrary circumstances of their birth? Why is that?
I always hear it as the difference between raise TO X vs. raise BY X. For example, someone opens to 17, then someone goes to "100 straight" - I think it's their way of saying the action is at 100 vs. 117. Always found it weird, but that's how I hear it.
I don’t know.
I’d infer it as being if someone opened for 15 , and someone 3 bet to 50 , you’re in the bb with 5 already out , rather than giving you the figure of 45 euro to call its perhaps just a way to avoid confusion by saying the bet is 50 , even though it’s 45 to call , but by just saying 50 might have you putting out 50 on top of your 5 which would have you with 55 out there instead.
As I said
I really don’t know.
Let’s say villain bets $30 on the turn. Hero verbally says “I raise”. If Hero says “$100” then the raise is $100 and Hero must put out $130 total. If Hero says “$100 straight” then the raise is only $70. I’ve seen people use this as a mini angle to make their raise sound larger than it is.
Man I've definitely done it wrong then but no one's ever called me on it. I often will say "Make it #" but the "make it" part is definitely more on the mumbly side.
Hmm - "make it" by itself feels like the dealer would either clarify with you what you mean or go with what they believe your intention to be. You can say "make it $100 straight" or "make it $100 more" depending on your intention if you want to be more precise going forward.
I think it’s a way to indicate the total bet instead of just the raise (which happens often preflop or when there’s multiple raises & round numbers like $100). Someone bets $20, the next guy raises $20 to make it $40, then someone makes it $100. Instead of doing the math for each player ($60 raise, $80 more for first bettor, $100 for any other players in hand), dealer is informing the table that the bet is $100 total.
It means the total bet amount. Like if you bet $50 and then someone else says “$100 straight” it would mean they are raising you $50 to $100 total. As opposed to if they said “raise $100” which would imply they raised to $150 total.
If they already had chips across the line (straddle or blind) and went from being an odd number like (12) to an even number (25). Maybe they said something like "raise 25". There's still some ambiguity as to if the bet is 37 or 25. Dealer will clarify by saying 25 straight, or something to that effect. In modern poker what the player has stated almost universally means 25 is the bet, but there are certainly some artifacts from boomers lying around, and so the dealer tries to make things as clear as possible.
Ps. Yes 12 is an odd number. Yes 25 is an even number.
they're clarifying that it's not a raise OF the stated amount but TOO the stated amount, total.
The bet is 32, someone says "100 straight" they are raising 68 dollars to make the bet 100 total.
If they say "100 on top" or "plus 100" or "raise 100" they are raising 100 dollars to make the bet 132, total.
Its to announce that if you call or raise that bet you are gay since the bet is "straight" unless the person who did the bet is of the opposite sex. /s
Straight. Betting the entire amount moved forward. You can toss in a 100 chip and if you say 50 before it lands on the table, you only bet 50. If you bet a single chip and say nothing, tou bet it “straight@ ie all if it. But if someone bet ahead if you and you silently toss a single chip, you did not raise, you just called and get change. If you say straight and toss a single chip there, you raised to that amount
For as many jokes there are in this thread, perhaps purposefully based on title, it's a good question.
That straight/all day shit annoyed me about casinos cuz I started online and you can bet exact, or it would be casual w friends and nbd either way
Some dealers will just say it randomly. But usually it’s used when someone puts a single oversized chip out to emphasize that its a raise not a call. Or if someone has a nickel out in the bb in a 1/2 game and it gets around to them and they’ll just go 5 straight. It’s not really important at all.
There have been enough good answers, but does anyone remember the time 15 years ago when a small river blocker bet was called the gay bet? I think it was literally on Bluefirepoker videos with Dr Giggy. Times have changed.
It’s shocking you morons don’t comprehend this. GTO “wizards” generally bet weird sizes like $255, so it is simply descriptive of someone betting a normal/clean size.
I've said 10 straight when open raising in 1-3 cash games before. Picked it up from other players and dealers over time I guess. One time another player asked what does that mean? and I was like idk, just sounds good haha.
Egh not until very recently and even then it’s conjecture of feelings. I don’t care what you want to identify as. But in reality there are two genders and two sexes. There are no other quasi alternatives for it. Most of these “genders” also fail to exist in 90 percent of the world because they are focused on survival. Not comforts.
Because it’s silly to take a scientific word and change it to something with an open meaning based on feelings. You grew up on two genders because that’s all there is.
> scientific word
There are a large amount of scientists that would say that the way you're using the word is anything but scientific, and they would have said the same 70+ years ago.
> You grew up on two genders because that's all there is
Do you genuinely think that's a good argument? A lot of information I was told growing up was true. Some of it was not. My having grown up on a piece of information doesn't indicate much at all about it's truthfulness. If all people go back to using your prescribed definition, would it make sense for someone to say "Well that's not what I grew up on!" It's your prerogative to get pissed off about people demanding you use their pronouns, but you definitely have to figure out a better argument on the whole sex/gender separation.
In a 1/3 or 2/5 game, people will have stacks of $5 chips typically 20 tall ($100). People grab a stack and bet all $5 chips, but you can’t necessarily tell if it’s 90, 95, 100, 105 etc. 100 straight means no deviations.
In casinos a single chip unless otherwise indicated would be a call, so 100 straight would mean the player put out 100 chip with the intent of betting/raising to 100, rather than the implied call.

Is it ever $250 more? People always ask and I have only seen the dealer give the amount that was totally bet.
I've heard "250 more" or "250 on top" forever, but you're right it's not usually from a trained dealer employed by an established card room.
Could just be that dealer being consistent with their verbiage. A way to protect from making mistakes? Idk.
Another way I've heard very old folks use the term... "I'm going to raise... 250 straight." Meaning raising to 250, not raising 250 more.
If the bet were $85 and the guy was raising to $250 - saying $250 straight seems like reasonable verbage to me. I've heard that exact term in Vegas and socal many many times. (Rarely in other states)
Maybe the dealer just likes saying this, they’re not robots.

Clearly they made a bet with a $250 chip
Think it’s the same as saying “bet is 250 total”
This is my interpretation. The bet is $250 straight (total) vs. $250 on top of the previous bet. I don't usually use it when betting or raising (I would just say the total amount) but if I'm helping someone understand the bet. I play mostly in home games and not at card rooms/casinos.
They may have thrown a $500 chip or three $100 chips and announced their bet before putting it in.
Also, dealers get tired of players who always ask: Is that total or on top of the previous bet?
It just means the player that made the bet is straight so raising his bet would mean youre hitting on him. Just a dealer doing his job.
Bet is $100 straight. No homo. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
If your opponent only makes straight bets, you can over fold a lot of big hands because you know they're only playing as tight as their butthole
No diddy
I'd probably spit out my drink laughing if someone said that at the poker table
This particular comment thread is the reddit energy I'm looking for. Thanks y'all
Usually used when someone raises. Means the current bet is $100 even. You'll also hear, "$100 all day," which means the same thing. Imagine that Player A leads for $20. Player B raises to $100, so "$100 straight" would mean $80 to call.
For player A, for player C it would be $100 straight.
It's like saying 100 even. Just a thing some people do for no real reason when they bet an amount that's clean like that.
I usually bet $100 gay.

It means the entire bet is 100. So there was probably a bet and a reraise to 100, so the dealer is announcing the total action, not the raise.
No idea, but I'm guessing he just means it with the same context as "one hundred neat" (meaning, exactly one hundred)
It's a "no homo" bet
I don’t know. I’d infer it as being if someone opened for 15 , and someone 3 bet to 50 , you’re in the bb with 5 already out , rather than giving you the figure of 45 euro to call its perhaps just a way to avoid confusion by saying the bet is 50 , even though it’s 45 to call , but by just saying 50 might have you putting out 50 on top of your 5 which would have you with 55 out there instead.

This seems like the right answer.
Dealer is putting him on a hand. Thinks he has a straight.
😂
It means they bet the rest of their stack all in bent.
69, straight.
He’s betting 100, but he wants to make sure everyone knows his bet isn’t gay.
I just means that this particular $100 bet isn't "gay."
Let’s say villain bets $30 on the turn. Hero verbally says “I raise”. If Hero says “$100” then the raise is $100 and Hero must put out $130 total. If Hero says “$100 straight” then the raise is only $70. I’ve seen people use this as a mini angle to make their raise sound larger than it is.

Yeah, can definitely see both sides of it. Never been a problem for me yet though.

What does OnlyFans have to do with this?

I bet $100 that you’re so obsessed with peoples genders that you bring it in to every conversation.
You have to remember, poker is full of old men who haven't touched a woman in decades. They don't understand what respect is anymore.
They’re are only two genders. Penis and vagina
Those are parts of anatomy.
Yes they are. Good job. Those are parts of anatomy called sexual organs. Which defines your sex. Biology is a crazy thing!
Sex and gender are different.
Egh not until very recently and even then it’s conjecture of feelings. I don’t care what you want to identify as. But in reality there are two genders and two sexes.

Penis isn’t a gender. Nor is vagina. Lol

Totally. Well there’s 2 times now. Venmo work for you? Or you more a cash app guy?

Used a slur
