I'm rather more interested in methods for counting the pot. It seems to me the best way to do it is in Small Bets (SB) rather than Big Bets (BB) so that 1BB = 2SB rather than 1SB = 1/2BB and you end up counting halves.

Thus, if I'm on the button, I can be saying, "check... 1 SB... fold... 2SB... 3SB... 5SB...", etc., counting before the flop so I know the pot on the flop (pre-flop hands being judged by Braid's Five Important Things and not pot odds). After the flop, I'm saying, "7SB... fold... 9SB... fold... 13SB..." etc.

At least, that's how it looks to me, but I'm just guessing since no reference I have seen talks about HOW to count the pot proper. Your advice here.
