Betting the pot.

[psandman]

Sadly it seems that I get less and less support from floor people when I refuse to spread a pot. it seems like the spread the pot thing is growing.

Turning stone 1/2 NL.

On the turn I annonce that I am betting the pot and put a stack of 100$ (pot was arround 70 - 80) and says after having already said "pot" "I am betting whatever there is in the pot".

Dealer annonces a bet of 100$ and I say that I did say pot clearly and loudly twice. He answered that its a NL game and a pot bet is not valid so the bet is what I put in front of me which was 100$.

Well by the time we talked about it the others players folded so I didnt care to ask the floor but what do you think would have been his rulling ?

The dealer got it right. You want to bet the pot then go play PL where they will count the pot for you.
