Default Re: NL re-raise rule

[ QUOTE ]
If so, why does a Limit bet of $100 bumped all-in to $150 reopen the betting? Is it fundamental to "poker" that "half" is a concept in Limit, but not in NL?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not about "half" being a concept. Half a bet is a realistic cutoff in limit for what constitutes a bet or raise.

In no limit half size raises are minuscule relative to the betting (and danger to the existing stacks). So it's reasonable that any raise less than a full raise be counted as
"action only" for someone who has already acted on the first real bet or raise.
