Re: Betting the pot.
Damn BM newbie.
j/k. But yeah, "Pot" is not a meaningful bet in NL. And you can't ask for a count of the pot. The dealer can only spread it around so you can get a better look. So it's important for you to keep track of what goes in.
As to how this rule arose... no idea. I'm going to guess that all games are originally like this, and they made the adjustment to allow a pot count for PL games.
A little bit arbitrary, but nothing close to unfair. I think the dealer handled it correctly. Glad the lesson didn't cost you anything.
