I understand exactly what you're saying and you are correct and thanks for being so observant
. The pot if we called would be 7.5BB so to make our opponent call a pot sized bet we need to raise 7.5BB to 10.5BB. What TableNinja does is to add a min-raise to the size of the current pot.
For bets and raises they are identical.
For reraises where you were the original bettor or for 3bets from the big blind) they are also the same thing.
When you are re-raising and were not the orginal bettor (ie cold reraising postflop or 3betting in position preflop) to compute the pot-sized bet exactly in every possible case we would need to scrape the Call button text to determine how much we need to call. If anyone knows a better way to do this and I am missing something please let me know
We may decide to do this in the future but we have not yet. It would require reading a number off the call button (and would be different for different themes and the number displays in different places depending on how big it is).
What we could do is add 1BB to 3bets where you were not the big blind. This would deal with every preflop situation except for when you are cold 4-betting (ie you are 4betting and were not the initial pfr). If you are cold re-raising postflop you would still need to handle the situation manually.
Anyways we know what we do isn't perfect, but with the default bets whatever solution we use needs to be fast and efficient. We would definitely welcome suggestions if people have them.
