In live No limit Hold'em, should a player
a) be told what the pot size is by the dealer if asked
b) be able to "bet the pot"

I've always wondered why a player can't be told the pot-size though. better than spreading it and waiting for the player to count. |

why? What's the reasoning behind not wanting the dealer to be able to tell a player what the pot size is? |

I am not asking as a TD lol, I know the answer and I know why the rule is in place ....... I have been told by a UK pro that it should be allowed, and he said if I ask anyone who knows anything about poker they would allow it too? Hence my question  |

In theory the answer to both should be yes. Playing the devil's advocate and in the interest of fairness, inclusion and equality; in Q1 perhaps you have a numerically dislexic customer or a colour blind customer or a customer who is sight blind and has been unfairly distracted from following the action in his usual way (i presume through mental arithmetic and careful listening of the action or with the help of an assistant) then why not allow it on occasion in the spirit of making reasonable adjustments for all?!. And in Q2, betting the 'pot' would be a specifc bet amount would it not? therefore if declared it should both be allowed and stand as a bet.
However in the interests of time and speeding up the game i could understand why clubs would not allow it.

Junior, if that is the case if someone says "I bet a quarter of the pot", should that stand in no limit? |

What if there is £205 in the middle, a player says I bet pot. Then chucks in the £5 chip first, and then then rest.
I think intention was pretty clear here no? But would it stand as a £5 bet?
