Default Re: tips for calculating exact pot size

do it by streets, ignore little stuff.

e.g. "4 x 12 = 48 pre-flop, round up to 50 for blinds, 2 x 40 on the flop, so there's 130."

if there's a limper who folds, don't worry about it. if you get a seat in front of the dealer, you can count the small pots. practice when you're not in a hand.

it's a good habit b/c it'll help you remember the action, as there's no "scroll up in the chat window" bailout if you can't remember who raised pre-flop.
