My 2/3 of the pot estimate

You could divide the pot by half (50%), then half again (25%), add the second half to the fist half (75%), then reduce it by half of the 25% (12.5%), then add on half of the 12.5% (6.25%) and we're pretty close.

Alternatively, you could divide the pot by three, then multiply the result by two, but I think that will take longer.

You could break up 66% into several groups of percentages. 50% plus 10% plus 5% plus 1% ≈ 2/3 pot.

1/2 pot + 1/10 pot

plus half of (1/10 pot)

plus 1/100 pot (optional)

Those are all fractions that should be easy to do in your head. Obviously the 1/100 pot is pretty much a waste of time, since you're already at 65%.

What, you don't like "A half and a tenth, and half of a tenth"? LMAO.
