Stay with me here. So, in theory, one could bet pot, and not be all in at that time.
LOL- nice response. I imagine the teacher, with the stern face and the ruler, talking to the dense 7-year old.

I didnt say that i see it all the time, ive seen it on accident multiple times over the years for a multitude of reasons, sometimes its due to angling, sometimes honest mistakes. But the point isnt why it happened, its that it could happen, and its unnecessary, so why not just fix the problem that makes it have the potential to happen?
Then why not just eliminate "pot" and other verbal non-amounts, altogether? I would assume that, even in a PL structure, it wouldn't cost that much time for people to determine an amount.
Currently, in a PL game, when someone says "pot" and someone raises, how do they handle the amounts, if it's not obvious? Do you spend a lot of time monitoring people's betting for exactness, so no one is shaving off the amounts?
Do you rarely have to count the pot out, to insure the correct amounts are going in?
If there's a lot of that... it seems more headache than it's worth.
