Poker Pot Limit And No Limit
Author: admin
Poker is sometimes played as pot limit or no limit. These are betting structures often used in high stakes poker games. Pot limit games allow players to bet any amount up to the current size of the pot but no more. For example, if the pot holds $75, the largest allowable bet is $75. If a player then bets pot limit and places $75 more into the pot, the pot would now contain $150. The betting limit is now set at a maximum of $150.
No limit poker is even a wilder version. It states that a player's maximum bet is limited only by the table stakes rule. The World Series of Poker played at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas every year plays no limit style of hold 'em poker with a $10,000 buy-in.
Pot limit and no limit poker are too vicious for the average player (unless comfortable maximum betting ranges are set by the players) and should not be considered by anyone but top level players with big purses. In this book, we'll assume just the limit variety of poker, the game almost universally played by most players in private and casino games.
