Poker Limits

The only difference between Fixed Limit, No Limit, and Pot Limit is the amount players can bet or raise when it is their turn to act.

• Fixed Limit: the amount a player can bet is determined by the limits and the current betting round.
• No Limit: there are no limits - all in!
• Pot Limit: the rules for determining the amount a player can bet are determined by the size of the pot and the action in the current betting round.

Fixed Limit Betting Rules

Maximum bet / raise

In limit games 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 bet the value of the high limit (e.g. in a $1/$2 limit game, players can bet $2 in the third and fourth rounds).

Minimum bet / raise

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.

No Limit Betting rules

Maximum bet / raise

The maximum bet or raise a player can make is an "all-in" bet. At any point when it is the player's turn to act, he can bet all the chips he has at the table.

Minimum bet / raise

At the beginning of each betting round, the minimum bet allowed is reset and starts at the size of the big blind.

Under raises (all-in bets)

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".

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.

Pot Limit Betting Rules

Maximum bet / raise

The maximum bet or raise allowed in Pot Limit 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 raises.

Minimum bet / raise

The minimum bet or raise a player can make in Pot Limit 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.

Player Deposit Limits

Players can go on tilt if they go on a bad run and we don't want people losing all of their bankroll during such a period so there are loss limits which we set on all players to try and control this.
