so what your saying JoJo is that your call counts/gets added to pot before the pot raise is calculated? and same for all pot reraises that may take place.

glad to here, thought so, had 5 of us play game of pot limit Omaha the other night and that was what i shared as rule when it came up...

In a pot-limit game, the quickest way to calculate the maximum bet you can make is: 3x the last bet (or action) plus what's behind it, NOT including any of your current bet.

For example: SB = 5, BB = 10, max bet = 3 x 10 + 5 = 35

In this situation, if you bet 35, the next bettor can make it 3 x 35 + 10 + 5 = 120.

If you're the first to act in any given betting round, then obviously there is no action yet so your maximum bet is 3 x 0 + (amount in pot) = amount in pot.

Try it -- it works really well. The mathematics are pretty simple -- here's the explanation:

Let x = the last bet, and y = everthing behind it not including your bet. When you call the bet, you increase your current bet to CALL the amount x, so there is now x + x + y = 2x + y in the pot. Your maximum RAISE (after calling) is thus 2x + y, which, when added to your call of x, totals 3x + y (i.e., three times the last bet plus what's behind it). Make sense?

Make sure you word it correctly....If you say, "I bet the pot", then you are just betting what's in the pot...if you say,"I raise the pot", you in effect make the call and then raise your call as well. samantics...
