String bet is taking chips from your stack and placing them into the pot then going back to you chip stack to get more. Imo thats a no no. Some ppl let it some dont. If you dont have to show your hand then dont.
Actually if you say "raise" then you may go to your stack twice and only twice (unless you haven't put the minimum in for a raise, which is usually the amount of the previous raise, or all-in, whichever is less). Otherwise you would be able to push stacks of chips out one by one, and guage your opponents reaction so you knew when to stop. An even better option is to state the amount of your raise, so if you accidentally put OVER the amount, it won't have to stand.
