PL, how to calculate "pot" raises?

[Percula]

Since I have never played PL games live I need to make sure I understand how to calculate raises in PL.

Say in a 10/20 blind game, UTG limps, MP limps, and the button wants to raise "pot" how much is the raise/total bet from the button?

110

ok
pot = 10+20+20+20 = 70
so you call the 20, pot = 90 and raise pot and total = 110

10 + 20 blinds
20 + 20 limps
20 Button's "call" before he raises:
$90 in pot before he "raises". He can raise $90, to $110 total.
Raise is the size of the pot, including his call.

In cash games (as opposed to tournaments) one traditionally treats the SB as completed when calculating the pot size. So the Max raise in this case would be to $120.

Discussed at length even though I gather the OP was about NLHE with mediocre dealers.

Discussed at length? Please, where in that thread is an answer to the OP of this thread?
He's not asking how to count the pot, he's asking "how much is the max raise here?"

Isn't it about a calculation of a pot-sized raise? A few posts below that thread about counting the physical pot, there begins a huge digression about how to calculate pot-sized raises in PLHE.

Aw, hell, as long as I'm at it....

A pot sized raise is 3+n times the last bet where n is the number of callers of the bet (and you can count the pot itself, from previous rounds, as a caller if the original bet is the pot). The exact amount is that (3+n times bet, plus any other smaller bets--but don't count anything in front of you if you have already put money in that same round.)

Just throw in a big brick of cash and say "pot". Numbers are for sissies.

Ok. When I had originally read that thread they hadn't gotten to that part. And that quote isn't that enlightening.
