Davood sat next to me in the $1500 PL holdem event. As we were trying to figure out the correct preflop raise amount during 100-200 blinds, Davood informs the table that he plays a lot of pot limit games and you can raise to $900. He is then quieted by someone who explains to him that 100+200+200+200 = 700 and he actually stops talking for a bit.

I apologize if this sounds stupid and I know that this is how it works as I've played PL before, but why exactly is someone allowed to raise to 700 when theres 300(100+200) in the pot?

I always thought the max you can open raise inPLH was 3.5 x BB. But maybe im wrong i havent played PLH in a while.
