Pot Limit Betting Preflop

[Small Fry]

[ QUOTE ]
Can someone describe the betting of pot limit preflop and postflop using the example of a small blind of $1 and a big blind of $2. Playing live at our game, we are always confused of what the amount of the bet should be if we say "Bet the pot". I say the first bet the pot should be $7 (call 2 dollars and bet the amount of $5 for a total of $7). Also, if everyone folds , then would the small blind only be allowed to raise to $6 (call 1 dollar and bet the amount of the pot of $4 for a total of $6). That discrepancy of $6 and $7 is what is confusing us, or does the small blind just get the shaft.

Changed your post. Otherwise you're correct. Don't know that I agree that the SB gets the shaft as he only has one opponent to go against where anyone else still has both blinds potentially coming in along with possibly anyone who acts after them.
