Ah, but you see, the pedantists(*) insist you cannot put someone else all-in, you can only put yourself all-in. So in this case you have to ask for the stacks to be counted to the dollar so you can wager exactly the correct amount.

I wouldn't have a problem with a player saying "I bet as many chips as Player X has" which would eliminate the need for a count request. But I think its incumbent upon the better to make his intentions as clear as possible.

(*) Yes, it seems I just made up this word. What's the noun form of pedantic? This obviously SHOULD be a word.

Being a pedanticisterist myself, the noun form of pedantic is... wait for it...

pedant.
