Default Re: Betting the pot.

I'm certain he would have ruled that you're not entitled to a count of the pot. Whether he lets you specify another bet size or not might vary.

Suppose you had said "I raise to a bajillion" and put out $100. Your bet would probably be ruled to be $100; you couldn't claim that "a bajillion" was a legal declaration of intent to raise, say, $80, or $1000.

In my mind, saying "I bet the pot" in a NL game is close to as meaningless as "I raise to a bajillion".
