OK, going back to the rules on this one (maybe you should read them
more closely):

BBB, page 84, under Dice Pools:

"Dice pools initially become available for use at full value as the
first step of the first Combat Turn of any encounter. Characters can
then draw from the as appropriate for the type of pool, during the
Combat Turn. Once dice are drawn from the pool, those dice are no
longer available for use until the pool refreshes at the beginning of
the character's next action."

It also explains this in BBB, page 78, under the heading of Combat
Turn Sequence.
