Half the pot lands on a half chip constantly. Pre-flop at 1/2 the honest half-pot is
$4.50, and the smallest chip in the default legend is a dollar — the tool's own chip
breakdown calls it "4×$1, $0.50 no chip covers". The button offered it anyway, so the
dealer rounded it themselves every single time.
The pot-derived quick amounts now round up to something the table can build. Up, not
down or nearest: these are bet sizes, a pot-sized bet that has been shaved is no
longer a pot-sized bet, and rounding up cannot drop an amount below a legal minimum
the way rounding the other way can.
Only when the legend describes this game. A smallest chip larger than the big blind
means the denominations were never set for these stakes, and rounding a 5c/10c table
up to whole dollars would be the tool doing real damage on the strength of a field
somebody forgot to fill in. Those tables keep exact amounts, and the wrong legend
stays visible rather than being quietly applied. A table with no legend at all is
told nothing about chips and so has nothing applied either.
Verified across five tables: default dollar chips at 1/2 give $4/$5/$7, cent chips at
5c/10c keep $0.20/$0.23/$0.35, five-dollar chips at 5/10 give $20/$25/$35, and both
the stale-legend and no-legend tables are left exact.
The minimum raise is deliberately not rounded. It is what the rules require, and
moving it to suit the chip tray would change what is legal rather than what is
convenient.
