No matter what any other bet is, Betting the pot will always at least include first a call of the previous player's bet, then a raise of the previous player's bet plus the call. Player B's total bet is X + 2X for a total of 3X. The pot contains Player A's blind of X plus Player B's call of X for 2X.

So let's do some quick math, we know there's 80 in the pot, +25 makes it 105, so his bet is to 105? Not really sure on any of this. UTG pots preflop, meaning that it's 10+25, so he bets 35 total, button folds, the sb calls and the bb repots. So, let's say we're playing 5/10 PLO, 4 handed I'm really having issues dealing pot limit because I can't count the pot properly.
