Naw, any place reasonably serious will have a string betting rule and similar. The reason is that you could start out with "and I call your 500" then pause slightly to see if your opponent starts moving/reacting in some way that signals their likely response before deciding whether to follow up with your raise. Likewise most places have a rule that you have to count out your bet then push it all out at once, or declare the full amount clearly verbally. Even the piddling little $100 buy in tourneys I played in during the poker craze 15 years ago had these rules.

Dealers tend to just shut down anyone that plays silly games around delaying or feinting what they're going to maybe do to. I was at Acapulco Joe's one time playing the cheap limit tables with a dealer that was out of patience with this one guy that was acting like he was on national tv for the world series finals. Finally at one point when he was dickering around she just looked at him, said "he calls" took his chips and moved on lol.
