I know you clarified this too, but just because someone might misinterpret this sentence -- "money in front of you" refers to the 3x + the trail calculation. If, instead, we're doing the literal "call and then raise the size of the pot" then the money in front of the raiser
does count (in other words, their previous calls).

I've always understood this to be standard for PL games. If there's actually a rationale for that standard, I'm curious about it.
In principle, afaik the reason Omaha usually plays as PL rather than NL is supposedly to prevent overbets from blowing opponents out of the pot, so you can always get at least 2:1 on your call. But if the rake is a big chunk of the pot, then you're really getting less than 2:1, right?
In practice unless rake is really outrageous (like some of these uncapped games one hears about), it doesn't matter much. I'm just curious.
