...unless they're mentally keeping track of the pot size.  Then stacking and restacking chips between betting rounds is a complete waste of time.  [b]Especially[/b] when the pot gets large, and you remember that they're supposed to be doing all of this stacking one-handed (because they deck stub isn't supposed to leave their other hand).

I know mentally tracking the pot size sounds really hard to the layperson, but for a good dealer it should be second nature.  Most should be used to it for calculating rake in other non-pot limit games anyway.  And mental arithmetic is a huge part of a dealer's job.  Hell, if they've got other games as well like craps or roulette then tracking a hand of PLO mentally might even be easier.

But then like I said, maybe we're just spoiled here.  The times I've played PLO live I don't think I've ever seen a dealer have to physically count or stack the chips to know how much is in the pot or what the max raise is.  They just tell you the number, because it's already in their head.
