Hi,

I was just wondering if someone could explain to me the easiest way to keep track of money going into the pot, i am confused how you determine if there is a raise pre-flop or there is a raise on flop,turn river, could someone please give me an example or explain to me how you count a raise, is it 2
times more, im so confused, Help.
for example if 5 people call pre flop and 1 raises how many bets are in the pot now? is it 7? or what, or how about if there are 6 callers on the turn and 1 raises and 1 reraises how many bets now?
Thanks for the help

Why not just look/count at how much is in the pot?

I started to write an illustration of how to work it out from the betting, raising, calling and folding during the round then decided it might be easier for you to just look at some of the posts in the Hand Analysis sub forum and work it out from there.

It all depends on the size of the bet or raise.

If there is $30 in the pot, I could raise $6 or I could raise $600.(if you're playing no-limit)

You just need to either add it up as you go along, or wait until it's your go and then count the pot. It is something that comes with practice.
