To continue on the hand I played yesterday:

Flop
5h, Qc, 2h
Turn 7h

BB-me checks
MP-raises $50 into a $68 pot.

I reraise to $150
MP calls my $100 on top of his original bet.

The pot is now $368

River
6h

I want to go all-in at this point but in my excitement, I did not verbally say this, I lifted one $100 chip stack and hovered it past the line and did not put it down yet and lifted another $100 chip stack and at that point said I'm going all-in...the dealer says, "no no can't do that, you can only put the $100 you have over the line first"  I say but I didn't put it down yet and he says no.

So I shrug, say fine, "here's $100" and put it down.

The MP guy says, "I'm gonna have to call you" (he had almost $400 in front of him and takes $100 to call me.

He flips over Kh,8h.

I flip over my Ah,4h.

Everyone at the table then started lecturing me about how I should have just said out loud I was all in...and then they all started telling me I should have pushed all in on the turn before the river came up because the MP would have called with his K high flush.  They said I could have made alot more money (like another $200) off of him by pushing on the turn.

But I was putting him on a lower flush and I figured if I went too over the top on the turn, he'd fold.  So I simply reraised him and decided to push on the river.  Then they also said I could have made more money if I'd said verbally all-in....instead of being told I was string betting if I put the other stack in even though the first stack I hadn't even put down, it was just hovering past the line...c'est la vie...

Cheers,
