Last night three times I had players ask a dealer to spread the pot and the dealer did so. I growled about it once hoping the dealer would get the message but the dealer just growled back (BTW three different dealers spread pots for players to count).

This has to connected to internet players always being told what is in the pot.

I dont play internet poker that often, but Ive been asking to spread the pot out long before party poker told me what was in it. Its not rude want know I general idea of the pot size. Now if someone asked in a limit game on the river...well thats a little different.

Its not rude that you want to know the pot size. didn't suggest that. Its just improper for a dealer to spread the pot for a player to count. And its the players expectation that the pot be countable that I trace to the internet. While it might have occasionally happened before it certaiunly happens with greater frequency now.

I have no idea why you think it makes a difference if this is NL or Limit. Either game it is very easy to track pot sizes.
