Pot Limit Texas Hold’em – in these games, the minimum bet is the size of the big blind. When you raise, you must raise at least to the amount of the previous bet, or the bet in the same round. The maximum raise is the size of the pot.

No Limit and Pot Limit is said to be the purest form of Poker. The general game structure and rules of No Limit and Pot Limit games are identical to those of Limited games, with two very notable exceptions: There is no Lower Limit Stake or Higher Limit Stake at the table and no Cap to the Betting Rounds. Instead, the minimum and maximum amounts that players are permitted to wager are according to No Limit and Pot Limit Betting Rules/Structure.

Pot
  1. Luckily, this simple rule of thumb for pot bets works just as well in the first betting round when the blinds are on the table. If the small blind is $1 and the big blind $2, the max bet is (3 x 2) + 1 = 7. With two limpers before you, the pot bet is (3 x 2) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 11.
  2. The main pot now contains $70, which is made up of the existing $40 in the pot, plus $10 x 3. Player 6 is “all in” and can only win this main pot. A side pot containing the extra $20 is created, and can only be won by the players who contributed to this side pot (players 5 and 7). The next card will be dealt and further betting will take place.
  3. Other Texas Hold'em Poker Rules. All the rules for no-limit and pot-limit poker apply to no-limit and pot-limit lowball. All other lowball rules apply, except as noted.
  4. Live at the casino, full-ring, or 9-handed is the most common way you will see No Limit Texas Hold’em being played. When playing online, 6-max (6-handed), as well as heads-up vs. A single opponent, are generally available as well. Either way, the rules and goals remain the same.
