Hello folks,
Sorry if I doubled someone's post, but I could not read all the 3 pages to wait for clarify situation =)
Pot limit calculation is what Brian said.
Its like in movies :
"I call you Johnny..., and I raise to ten thousands dollars !
(Crowd) : OOOOOOOOOOOWWW
Of course today it is considered as not eligible action but by these old times, guns were allowed at the tables =)
So here we go for the table :
Blinds : 100/200 Preflop
Player A : SB - 100
Player B : BB - 200
Player C : Calls 200
Player D : Raises PotThe traditional how-to is the following : (like in movies remember)
Player D puts the amount of the call, in this case 200, then we make the SUM of the pot so
Pot : 0 (Preflop)
A: 100
B: 200
C: 200
D: 200 (amount of call)
We get 700.
This amount is the raise, not the entire bet. So you have to add the amount of call (200) and the amount of raise (700) to a total to 900.If we take another situation where Player A as SB raises pot, we get the following :
A : 100
B : 200
C : Calls 200
A : Raises pot
A puts the amount of the call (200) then we go to the maths
A : 200
B : 200
C : 200
and we get a 600 raise for a 800 total bet.So we can see that prior chips do not enter in the pot calculation.With the 3x rule, we get the same results
Case 1 : (3xC) + (A + B) -> (3x 200) + (200 +100) = 900
Case 2 : (3xC) + A -> (3x200) + 200 = 800
And I just saw that the original post was from 2012
