A pot sized bet gives your opponent 2:1
odds to call. Your opponent has to call $35 to win $137 (50+15+72) when you raised to $50 total. That offers 3.9:1 odds, or in percentages, your raise was 34% of the pot (35/102). It's cool, math is hard.
A pot sized raise would be $117 (call his $15, makes the pot $102, and then $102 raise on top). Issue is on the turn you're going to be left with less than a pot sized bet behind anyways. I'm sort of inclined to just shove it all in.
