Funny you should mention that, as this came up in Aruba. Based on the mixed responses there, I believe this varies from tourney to tourney (in Aruba, it WAS allowed, according to the TD).
Some rules state that the dealer can not count the pot, but can only spread it for you. Other times, it's perfectly find for the dealer to give you an exact count. So, just ask if it's allowed ahead of time and then you'll know.
