i think that's not the best advice, gets confusing for ok who has added 10 to the pot and who has added 7, etc. just wait til all the preflop action is done, then count yes the callers times the raise plus the dead money, usually pretty easy like that... and the dead money is generally pretty unimportant unless there was complicated preflop action anyway, so usually just multiply the raise times the callers works fine.
