▁are ▁simple ▁calculations ▁that ▁allow ▁a ▁deal er ▁or ▁player ▁to ▁keep ▁track ▁of ▁the ▁maximum ▁raise ▁amount . ▁ ▁Here ▁is ▁an ▁example : ▁( 3 L + T )+ S = M ▁where : ▁L = last ▁w ager ▁T = tra il ( action ▁prior ▁to ▁previous ▁bet ) ▁S = start ing ▁pot ( previous ▁round ▁action ) ▁and ▁M = maxim um ▁bet ▁Go ing ▁to ▁player ▁D ' s ▁actions ▁in ▁TABLE ▁ 1 ▁on ▁the ▁right : ▁The ▁last ▁w ager ▁made ▁was ▁made ▁by ▁Player ▁C ▁($ 3 5 ), ▁so ▁L =$ 3 5 ▁The ▁trail ▁is ▁the ▁total ▁of ▁Player ▁A + Player ▁B ▁($ 5 +$ 3 5 ), ▁so ▁T =$ 4 0 ▁The ▁starting ▁pot ▁is ▁$ 2 0 , ▁so ▁S =$ 2 0 ▁The ▁value ▁of ▁M ( maxim um ▁bet ) ▁is ▁$ 1 6 5 ▁( 3 5 * 3 )+ 4 0 + 2 0 =$ 1 6 5 ▁After ▁some ▁practice , ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁difficult ▁to ▁keep ▁up ▁with ▁the ▁action ▁at ▁the ▁table . ▁ ▁There ▁may ▁be ▁some ▁variance ▁between ▁c ash ▁and ▁tournament ▁play ▁in ▁pot ▁limit ▁bet ting ▁structures , ▁which ▁should ▁be ▁noted : ▁ ▁At ▁some ▁c ash ▁tables , ▁it ▁may ▁not ▁be ▁a ▁requirement ▁that ▁the ▁deal er ▁immediately ▁return ▁the ▁extra ▁amount ▁of ▁an ▁over bet . ▁ ▁If ▁the ▁over ▁bet ▁is ▁not ▁cont ested ▁by ▁a ▁player ▁before ▁any ▁additional ▁action ,
