Texas Holdem Pot Limit Rules

Posted on

Also like Texas Hold'em, we use blind bets to get the pot started. The first player to the left of the dealer puts in the small blind, which is usually half of the big blind. The player to the left of the small blind is required to put in the big blind, and this is generally equal to the small bet at the particular limit being played. In this case, split pot poker allows more than one winner, which means that the chips would be divided among the different winners. There are different ways in which a Texas Holdem game would allow splitting a pot. Think of a case in which one of the players in a No-limit Texas Holdem game incorporates an ace-high straight.

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.
