I thought I understood pot limit raising rules but then I watched this video:
The blinds are $25/$50 and in the very first hand UTG raises to $200. I thought the rule for pot limit was you had to call the previous bet, then you could raise up to the size of the pot. So in this case that would be call $50 (making the pot $125), then you could raise pot totaling $175.
Or more simply 3x the big blind + what was in previous (the small blind) = $175
Other hands in the video also have confusing raises and statements about what is the legal max raise.
Can someone clear this up for me and help me understand the rules to raising in pot limit?
