along the lines of "bet the pot", it would be great if we could create some user defined buttons for various bet sizes: e.g. 1/2 the pot, 2/3 the pot, 1/1 the pot etc.

The ideal interface would be I simply think of an action and it happens. Good user interfaces get closer to this ideal than bad one.
