I actually don't know what rules the EPT uses - one of the big problems with poker is that there [i]is[/i] no universal rule set.  Most major tournaments use a combination of Robert's Rules and the Tournament Director's Association rules, and then give their tournament directors latitude to bend the rules as they see fit after that.

With regard to string bets, that's one of the rules that you'll most often see ignored, especially on televised tables.  I think I've said it before, but it's a lot like the travel rule in the NBA - the infraction will often be ignored, as long as you do something cool afterwards.

As for Rule 14 note that it comes from Section 3 (General Poker Rules) of Robert's Rules, which applies to all games, and it doesn't necessarily contradict Section 14 Rule 11 that I quoted earlier either - if it's more than half it's got to be a minraise and if it's less than half it seems it has to be a minraise too.  Section 3 Rule 14 doesn't actually say that anything less than half a bet is a call.
