"You don't even have enough for a legal raise"

It's not a raise.

Yes, I thought I quoted the rules above in this thread, although perhaps I imagined it. to reiterate: the 1/2 bet rule is a limit concept. As Pfapfap says, only a full raise is a raise in NL.

I've heard that some NL games run with a half-raise rule....?

True, I was pointing out the standard rule. Home games are welcome to any rule variants they want. I suppose I keep pointing it out, because I believe that a lot of home game players using the 1/2 raise rule for no limit believe it is the standard rule, not a variant.
