| TEXAS HOLDEM Bet LimitsWhen
you first go to a table, an information box appears that tells you the name of
the game ("Welcome to Holdem"), the limits and type of game (for example,
"$4-$8 Fixed Limit"), the blinds (for example, "Blinds: $2/$4"),
and the buy-in (for example, "Minimum Buy-in $40"). In a no-limit game,
a maximum buy-in is enforced. The minimum buy-in is generally 20 times the size
of the big blind in Texas Holdem. So, for example, when you sit down at a $0.25-$0.50
game, you will see in the information box "Maximum Buy-in $50." If you
click Sit Down and try to buy in for less than $10, a notice pops up that reads
"You need to post a minimum buy-in of $10 to play at this table." Fixed-Limit
Games - The software enforces the bet limits, which are determined by the stakes
offered at the particular table. For example, at a $3-$6 table, the limit on any
bet is $3 on the first two betting rounds and $6 on the final two betting rounds.
At Planet Poker, we allow a bet and three raises in each individual round. Each
bet or raise is at the limit for that round. Thus, the first player to bet in
the first round of betting has the choice of folding or betting $3. If someone
has made a bet, the next player has the choice of folding, calling the $3, or
raising $3 (making the total bet at that point $6). If there has been a raise,
the next player has the choice of folding, calling the $6, or raising $3 (making
the total bet at that point $9). © COPYRIGHT 2004-8 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Best-texasholdem.com |
