In No Limit Hold'em, there is no ‘cap’ on the number of raises allowed.

Maximum raise: The size of your stack (your chips on the table). As an example, if the first player to act bets $5 then the second player must raise a minimum of $5 (total bet of $10). Minimum raise: In No Limit Hold'em, the raise amount must be at least as much as the previous bet or raise in the same round. The minimum bet in No Limit Hold'em is the same as the size of the big blind, but players can always bet as much more as they want, up to all of their chips. This includes a (1) bet, (2) raise, (3) re-raise, and (4) cap (final raise).

In Limit Hold'em, up to four bets are allowed per player during each betting round. On the turn and the river, the size of all bets and raises doubles. Pre-flop and on the flop, all bets and raises are of the same amount as the big blind. Player Betting Optionsīetting in Limit Hold'em is in pre-determined, structured amounts. Betting action proceeds clockwise around the table, starting with the player ‘under the gun’ (immediately clockwise from the big blind). Now, each player receives his or her two hole cards. In Pot Limit and No Limit games, the games are referred to by the size of their blinds).ĭepending on the exact structure of the game, each player may also be required to post an ‘ante’ (another type of forced bet, usually smaller than either blind, posted by all players at the table) into the pot.

In Limit games, the big blind is the same as the small bet, and the small blind is typically half the size of the big blind but may be larger depending on the stakes. The player immediately clockwise from the small blind posts the 'big blind', which is typically twice the size of the small blind, but the blinds can vary depending on the stakes and betting structure being played. Before the game begins, the player immediately clockwise from the button posts the 'small blind', the first forced bet. In Hold'em, a marker called ‘the button’ or ‘the dealer button’ indicates which player is the nominal dealer for the current game.
