Pot
Limit & No Limit
Pot
Limit and No Limit poker are exciting games and
are often considered to be a purer form of poker
over Limit structures. Once you know the basic
rules of limit poker, the rules of Pot Limit and
No Limit are easy to pick up. The only difference
between these games and Limit poker are the betting
amounts.
General betting rules for Pot limit:
Minimum
eligible raise: The raise amount must be at least
as much as the previous bet or raise in the same
round. Example: If a player bets $10.00 then the
minimum raise by the next player is $10.00 for
a total bet of $20.00.
Maximum
eligible raise: The size of the pot. This amount
is defined as the total of the pot plus all bets
on the table plus the amount the active player
must first call before raising. Example: The pot
is $20.00, the first player to act for the round
bets $15.00 and the next player calls $15.00.
The next player to act has a maximum eligible
bet of $80.00. This $80.00 is the total of his
$15.00 call and $65.00 raise. The $65.00 raise
is equal to the $20.00 pot + the first player's
$15.00 bet + the second player's $15.00 call +
his own $15.00 call.
General
rules for No limit:
Minimum
eligible raise: This is the same as Pot Limit
- the raise amount must be at least as much as
the previous bet or raise in the same round. See
example above.
Maximum
eligible raise: All of the chips you have at the
table.
As you can imagine, these games can be very exciting
and at times produce large pots.
