Default Disturbing Trend: no pot size in hand posts

So you all remember learning poker and you knew next to nothing about it? Remember buying SSHE and reading Ed's words, "pot size," "size of the pot," "pot-odds," etc? You were told it was the most important thing to keep track of next to which stupid cards you were holding, but where is it today? Every day I read countless posts here that don't include the size of the pot on each street. I can figure it out myself in order to give (sometimes) good advice, but it disturbs me that the OP's don't care about it enough to include it themselves. So, please, include the size of the pot for every street in small and big bets, as appropriate. That way, when you ask, "was I right to call this check-raise?" I won't have to take off my shoes after I run out of fingers to count with. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Bump! Yeah I'm an a-hole for clogging the forum, but I want more people to read this.

There are three types of people in this world: Those who can count and those who can't.

I can't.
