When determining the maximum bet a player can make in a pot-limit game that is raked (and not charged by time), does money removed from the pot to pay the rake qualify in terms of the maximum bet size or not? For example, if 4 people each put in $25 to see a flop, there is $100 in the pot. Now say $2 is taken out in rake. Can the first bettor on the flop bet $100 or only $98?
The thing that got me wondering about this is that, on Ultimate Bet, the "bet pot" button bets the size of the pot+rake while the Party "bet pot" checkbox bets the size of the pot after the rake has been taken out. I play primarily no-limit on both sites (rather than pot-limit) but as I'm trying to practice up on my PLO at microlimits, I was curious.
