A pot size total somewhere on the screen would help.

It was above the community card graphics during some pots, but not for others. No idea why.

Missed that entirely. Do you think that ESPN didnt show pot size on every hand was b/c they didnt know how much was in the pot? If thats the case its just silly on ESPN's part.

I think that the crews that cover these events don't know that this would be important to the viewer. If the floor director had a form to fill out that would request all this info it would help in post production. It could ask:
1 Players
2 Antes
3 Pot size
4 Action before the cameras came

But then how would they know that and who would give that info? Would the players give that?

These are the same production staff that cover darts, billiards, dominoes, bowling etc. They don't know everything about all the events they cover. They just take the pictures.
