I've been back and forth with this myself. Maybe we should post a poll and see what people think. I'm kind of leaning your way though, as it's easy enough to add two or three numbers if you do need to determine the pot at any given moment in the hand.

OK, I've thought about this some more - let's go with pshabi's suggestion of only including the pot size at the beginning of each street (Before Preflop, Flop, Turn, and River) and see how that looks.

Here's a sample of what it would be like without the running pot tally.

PokerStars Tournament game, buy-in $4.00+0.40, Level IV $50/$100 No Limit, 8 players

I have to agree with Shabi on this one - it looks MUCH cleaner without the running total.

You've done an awesome job here De-coder!

Thanks dude.

So I guess my plan to include running pot odds is now completely out of the question...

[Talking Poker]

Agreed.... that looks so good, I believe I've run out of suggestions.

Ah ha!!! I knew I'd find something. I believe this order is incorrect:
SB: T$1925
BB: T$5680
MP2: T$2355
MP3: T$3720
CO: T$5850
Button: T$2705
UTG: T$6340
HERO (MP1): T$3710

Shouldn't it be:
SB: T$1925
BB: T$5680
UTG: T$6340
HERO (MP1): T$3710
MP2: T$2355
MP3: T$3720
CO: T$5850
Button: T$2705

Also, for games larger than 6 max, I prefer using UTG+1 rather than all the MP#s, but I can go either way with this. It's certainly fine how it is. I wonder if we could google up a standard or something.

Like for this hand, I'd rather see a UTG+1 in there and no MP3 - just MP1 and MP2 before the CO.

I'm not sure why the order got messed up there... I'll have to look into that... As for the MP's it's pretty easy to change - I have lists of position names from 2 to 10 players - change the position names in the list and you're done...

here's what it looks like right now:
Let me know what you'd like - it's an easy change.
