if UTG called and the next player bet pot it would be $9.
Anyway, I don't know if it's just not common in my area or what, but I've never seen a 1/2 PLO game played true pot. Preflop betting normally allows the first person entering the pot to call $2, pot to $10(some games consider SB and BB to be counted as one $5 blind so opening pot raise is $15) or the only other acceptable raise would be to $5. After the flop, it's played as a red chip game and all bets have to be in $5 increments. The reason for this is there are a lot of mathematically challenged dealers who can barely figure pots using $5 increments let alone using odd bet amounts.
I guess if you're capping the game at $100 max BI, you'd probably need to have it true pot to make it play a little smaller at least.
