Re: I just lost $400 on this hand - and I deserved to lose!

So my revelation is this: I suck at tracking the size of the pot in live games. I'm probably just too lazy. Makes total sense why I have such good results online but bad results live. Online, I know the exact size of the pot and all the stacks at all times. Live, I need to rely on my brain in addition to my eyeballs.
So this is what I need to work on now. Any advice? I'm thinking a lot of little home games before my next trip to the NL tgable at Trump.

The way I do it is by remembering what happened on the previous street. How much did you raise and how many calls? Take that sum and add a few bucks for the blinds and limpers and you got it. Think about how big the pot is at the start of every street so you can keep track.
I find using your eyes to get an estimate can be very decieving, which is why I don't do it.
You got the way to play this hand down pat, but I don't like the amount you raised preflop. With 3 limps and the blinds still to act, I'd make it $30-$40.
