Default Re: tips for calculating exact pot size

Easiest way to keep potsize in your head: do the betting yourself [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] . Seriously though if you control the action it will be retained in your head in future streets.

Before the flop is a simple multiplication problem: size of bigbet (or raise size) times amount of people in for flop. If some people drop out to a raise forget the deadmoney since its a marginal addition to the potsize.

On the flop and onward you should be paying attention to all betting going on anyway since you need to be reading betting patterns (when and where they bet particular amounts) as well as controlling your own betting (charging right amount for the draw).
