Splashing the Pot
When you make a call or bet, just place your chips in front of you. Don’t toss your chips into the pot. The dealer will count your chips before putting them into the pot to ensure your bet is the correct amount. Just throwing your chips directly into the pot is called splashing the pot because of the bouncing of the chips that usually results. Don’t do it. Again, the purpose of the rule is to protect you.
