Betting Limits
The only difference between Limit Poker, No Limit, and Pot Limit is the amount players can bet or raise when it is their turn to act:.
In Fixed Limit, the amount a player can bet is determined by the limits of the current betting round.
The rules for the amount a player can bet in No Limit is determined by the size of the blinds, the amount of chips bet by previous players in the current betting round, and the amount of chips the player has left.
In Pot Limit, the rules for determining the amount a player can bet are determined similarly to NL, except that there is a limit on the maximum bet determined by the size of the pot and the action in the current betting round.
Limit Poker (LP) Betting Rules
Maximum bet
For LP, the maximum bet or raise a player can make in the first and second betting rounds is equal to the amount of the low limit of the table (e.g., in a 1 €/2 € limit game, the bet players can make in rounds 1 and 2 is 1 €). In the third and fourth betting rounds, players can then bet the value of the high limit (e.g., in a 1 €/2 € limit game, players can bet 2 € in rounds 3 and 4).
Minimum bet
The minimum bet a player can make is equal to the largest previous raise in the current betting round. If no bets have been made, then the minimum bet is equal to the size of the big blind.
No Limit (NL) Betting Rules
Maximum bet
For NL, the maximum bet is all-in. At any point when it is the player’s turn to act, he/she can bet all the chips he/she has at the table.
Minimum bet
The minimum bet allowed is reset at the beginning of each betting round, and starts at the size of the big blind. The minimum bet or raise a player can make is equal to the largest previous raise in the current betting round. If no bets have been made, then the minimum bet or raise is equal to the size of the big blind.
All-in betting (under raises)
If a player does not have enough chips to make the minimum raise, but has more than it would cost to call, the player still has the option to make a raise by going all-in.
Pot Limit (PL) Betting Rules
Maximum bet
For PL, the maximum bet allowed is equal to the amount of chips in the pot so far in the current hand. The calculation of the maximum raise allowed by a player includes the amount that the player must call before he/she raises.
Minimum bet
The minimum bet or raise a player can make is equal to the largest previous bet in the current betting round. If no bets have been made, then the minimum bet or raise is equal to the size of the big blind.
