Unusual situation: BB posts blind then switches chips in front

[MrPick80]

SB 150 BB 300 : BB put one chip of 500 as BB. a few players just call and player from BB took back his chip and throw 3 chips of 100. is a check or i have to force him to min raise?

Welcome MrPick80,

Welcome to the Forum

I say it's a call. I might question why he didn't just put the 3 100's in to start but that's my call.

Pick: That seems like a legit move on part of the BB to just call and "make his own change". If he'd tossed the three 100's out first then pulled the 500 back I would have made it a raise to 800.

check. not call. right?

Yes it's a call. Hey Mike, I love it when we agree

Correct, the BB is checking his option to raise.  He is not raising, nor is he calling his own bet.  But, lets not quibble over semantics. :-)  Welcome MrPick80.

What the hell happened to this question? It went from a check or raise to a check/call or raise. It's not a raise, that's it. It would be a raise if he left his 500 in the pot and then added the other 300, as Mike stated. Without prior verbal declaration, that's the rule.

It's a check, or call.
