I was basing my information on something I read in one of the poker books. It may have been Phil Gordon's Little Green Book but it also may have been HOH vol.1 (I don't have the LGB anymore so I can't double check). It said (paraphrasing here): As long as you declare 'raise' you can go back to your stack as often as you like.
There may also have been the clause you mentioned where you can keep stacking them to the side as you count them out but they all go in together - but I don't remember. I had to correct a couple people at my home game this past weekend. They were both "I'll see your...and raise you..." Broke them of that. |

I know this (bolded) part is not true.
If I declare "raise" (say of a $50 bet) then put 125 in the pot, I can't go back to my stack for more chips, even though I haven't announced an amount. The ONLY way I can go back to my stack for more chips is if I said "raise make it 200" , then after bringing out 125 in chips I could get more, since my raise was announced in an amount Oh yea, the "I see your...and raise you..." is common amoung unknowning players, I personally prefer "I call 250 and raise 50 more" Either that or the 5 minute discussion afterwards on why they can not (or more important wouldn't want to) raise a 250 bet by 50 (but the blinds are 25/50 isnt 50 the min bet???) So the strng bt gets overlooked to compensate for their scary raise
