Default How Big Is The Pot?

I was playing some NL on UB today and I noticed something interesting. The blinds were .10 and .25. I was stealing a lot of blinds by raising to $6.

When it reported how much I won in the chat window, I was told that I won .60. The blinds are .35 and my call was .35 for a total of .70, but it looks like they raked the entire $6.35, even though there were no callers.

I have never thought of an uncalled bet as being in the pot. I guess I'm wrong, but I wonder if anyone else was thinking along the same lines as me?

If the blinds were 0.10 and 0.25 then your call would be for 0.25 not 0.35. It looks like no rake was taken.

I only play at pokerstars and party and they both have a "no flop, no drop" policy. I would imagine UB has the same.

Thanks Paul.

You're right.

I guess I just played too long. [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

I am quite sure that every site has the policy "no flop, no
drop", and if a poker site didn't, customers would scream
about it in their emails ad infinitum!
