Understanding the Raise to % of the Pot Formula
To make a pot-sized raise, you need to follow this simple formula:
A 100% Pot-sized raise=3×size of opponent’s bet/raise + size of pot before opponent’s bet/raise
Example 1
Pot was 10 and your opponent bets 5.
Now to get a 100% Pot size raise we need to bet 3x5 + 10 = 25
Note that if we just called 5 pot would be 20. So we not only called 5, but raised a pot (20) resulting in a 25 raise size.
Example 2
Pot was 10 and your opponent bet 10.
Now to get a 100% Pot size raise we need to bet 3x10 + 10 = 40
Example 3
Lets say you chose a 50% pot raise size in Postflopizer.
In case when Pot was 10 and your opponent bet 5 now a 50% pot size raise would be calculated using following formula:
Pot would be (10+5+5) =20
20* 50% + 5 = 15 which would indicate a 50% raise size.
