WHAT???
So, if I say "bet pot" but put out one chip less.... that's
different than declaring any other fraction of the pot and then shorting the bet?
Exactly why? What angle does this open up, exactly?
Now, if you wanted to argue it from an 'ease of game mgmt' stance, I might agree.... but verbal is only binding when it's a certain amount?
Smells like a fail here.... someone enlighten me.

but higher, than whatever the bet should be.
... along with a KITN for trying to be fancy and not being able to do his own math
Or, disallow any verbal bets that aren't an amount, including "pot", "I'll put you all in" and other such non-values. I'll allow "all-in" for your own stack, since I don't have to count it in order to know what's going into the pot.
= it's everything in front of you

what if the pot is $43.75? What's half of that?
$25. You want a more precise amount in the future, bet an amount instead.
