PokerStars’ Lee Jones weighs in on Problems with the One Chip Call

If you’ve hung around a poker table long enough, then you know that when a player throws out a single chip in response to a bet or raise, it is considered a call. Well, the Director of Poker Communications at PokerStars, Lee Jones, thinks that rule should be changed.

Lee believes that the negatives out weigh the positives when it comes to the single chip rule. The opportunity for someone to shoot an angle is just too great, he contends. “Furthermore, there’s no upside to this one-chip call except to allow the caller to be lazy and detached. “

Check out his post on the PokerStars Blog to see a full explanation of Lee’s problem with the rule and his perspective on poker rules in general.
