| What is a pot sized bet? What to you constitutes a pot sized bet? Is it what's in the pot at the start of the hand? Or is it what's in the pot including that round of betting to you? |

| Not sure there is only one right answer here. Perhaps by definition there is one, but from a players POV does it or does it not contain current bets before it gets to you? My opinion is that it does contain the current bets ahead of you. The pot bet button will add you calling, then the raise will be the pot at that time. The example tos gave is a bit wrong in that he didn't add the call before the raise. It should read; $200 in pot before round of betting. Villain 1 bets $50 Villain 2 calls bet of $50 Hero calls $50, AND raises $350 Pot is then $700. And that would be the POT BUTTON raise. Only the first to act will get the exact pot sized bet in. |

| I'm asking this because some sites have pot size bet buttons and others don't. Some pot bet buttons are set for what was at the beginning of betting. I was wondering if players took time to figure out what was in the pot or did the lazy way. |

| re: What is a pot sized bet? poker The pot button at Full Tilt. First to act after the deal, pot button is 3x plus the SB, so figure that is usually 3.5x. Post flop, the pot button is what's in the pot for the first to act, then falls in line with the above. Poker stars doesn't have one that I've noticed. Maybe in some pot limit games, but it is not normal. However, I don't play there often enough to be sure, and am on a lunch break with no time to explore. bodogs pot button works the same as Full Tilt. The one thing I liked about the old Doyles Room was that there were 3x,4x,5x, buttons. |
