# PLO pot-sized raise evidence bundle

- Published: 2026-09-04
- Arithmetic: deterministic integer ledger
- Sampling: none
- Governing-rule input: supplied by the named rules profile, not inferred by this model

## Four-line method

1. Record the rules-profiled pot before the actor acts, including all current-street wagers.
2. Subtract the actor’s prior street contribution from the rules-profiled amount to match to get the call.
3. Add the call to the sizing pot; that sizing-pot-after-call is the maximum raise increment.
4. Report both chips added now and the final wager-to. They differ when the actor already has chips committed.

## Files

- `plo-pot-sized-raise-fixtures.json`: input contract, equations, sources, assumptions, and pinned fixtures.
- `plo-pot-sized-raise-results.csv`: flat input/output ledger for every fixture.
- `plo-pot-sized-raise-verifier.py`: independent Python standard-library checker.
- `plo-pot-sized-raise-README.md`: this method and limitation note.

## Reproduce

Place all four files in one directory and run:

```console
python plo-pot-sized-raise-verifier.py
```

The verifier recomputes every JSON result without importing the website JavaScript, checks the CSV cell by cell, and pins the $45 repot, both TDA full-blind-normalization examples, and the labeled WSOP dead-small-blind derivation separately.

## Interpretation boundary

Passing the bundle proves consistency with the declared integer equations and fixtures only. A deemed sizing pot is not a physical chip count: the TDA dead-small-blind fixture records both values. The model does not decide which chips a live room counts, whether the actor may raise, the minimum legal raise, side-pot eligibility, or how a floor should rule. Poker TDA and WSOP publish different preflop counting language; the event or house rules control.
