Poker Math That Matters

Here's why this works. If we were to call the $50 bet, the pot
would total $200. To then match the pot, we would bet $200.
That's our total of $250. I just find it easier to use the two-step
process I outlined above. We'll discuss the purpose of a pot-size
raise including other bet sizes later in this book. For now, I'd
just like you just to be familiar with your surroundings and
options at the table.
