Different Limits in Texas Holdem Poker

If you’re new to Texas Holdem, you may wonder what the difference is between limit, pot limit and no limit poker. Or what the heck $1/$2 pot limit means. It’s all about the amount that players can bet, and when they can bet it. A low limit game is going to make your money go further because the amount that can be bet is…low. High limit and no limit games means you better have a healthy stack of poker chips if you want to stick around.

A fixed limit or structured limit game means that betting amounts are set. It’s usually described with two dollar amounts, like $1/$2 or $5/$10. In Texas Holdem, the first number is how much can be bet pre-flop or on the flop. So in a $5/$10 game, you could bet $5 on the pre-flop and flop. On the turn and the river, the amount doubles, for example $5 to $10. The number of bets is limited to four per round. A player can bet, get raised, re-raise the bet and get re-raised one more time.

Spread limit means you don’t have to bet a certain amount like in our $5/$10 structured limit. If you’re playing in a $1-$5 game, you can bet any amount between $1 and $5 during any round. If there are four amounts, say $1-$5-$10-$10, it spells out the high end on each round, so $1 to $5 on the pre-flop and $1 to $10 on the Turn and the River.

A pot limit game means a player can bet any amount between the cost of the big blind and the size of the pot on any betting round. If someone calls a game $5/$10 pot limit, the $5 and $10 are the amount of the blinds. The only thing the numbers mean in regard to betting is the $10 (or second number) will be the amount of a minimum bet.

In a No Limit game, your maximum bet on any betting round is the amount of poker chips you have at the table. The minimum bet will be the amount of the Big Blind. So a $5/$10 No Limit game means $10 minimum bet.

PartyGammon Review
This site is affiliated with Party Poker and went live in 2006. The poker room is really PartyPoker, which started in 2001 on the Net. This is one of the largest poker sites on the Internet now. With the huge following the PartyPoker has this site is very likely to be busy for the Backgammon lovers.

Action Poker Review
The new player bonus is a healthy $1000 on a match of 120%. This gives the player some extra cash to play with. The site offers exotic variations of poker like Pan and the standard fare of Holdem and Omaha. The limits are at the low end of the scale and serious money poker players will not be excited by the low limit games. Since this is a relatively new site, there is hope that the traffic will pick up and the setting of some other poker variations many draw from a different crowd of players. The player count is a weak 150 for cash games and 500 for tournaments. No USA

Poker770 Review
Poker770 is a member of the iPoker Network. The site is very popular in France. Aside from gaining a great deal from the membership in the way of promotions and player count, this site also has a slightly lower rake and offers a large number of guaranteed tournaments. The top poker games are Holdem and a less popular game of Omaha. The games are full and are played at many limits.

Some of the games are loose as the casino and the sportsbook patrons show up to play a little poker. Player count is high at 8200 in cash games and 45,000 in tournaments. No USA

Paradise Poker Review
Paradise Poker went live on the Net in 1999. For a while this poker site was the leader of the Poker sites, however the competition forced the sale of the company to Sportingbet and then it became a member of the powerful iPoker Network. This membership is very helpful to player traffic and promotions.

Hollywood Poker Review
This site offers a possible new player bonus of $500 matching bonus. The thrill here for some players is playing with celebrities and the bounty tournaments that are offered as incentives to play.
