I'd like to see that rule in writing.

I believe it is a basic part of NL poker that to commit to a wager you are required to know how much it is. It's why hidden large chips don't play.

What casino doesn't allow "hidden" large chips to not play? If a player moves all in and has a 5k chip mixed in with the others, it's the opponents responsibility to get a count/know how much the other player has. I've never been in a game where everything on the table wasn't in play, whether it was "hidden" or not.
