TEXAS HOLDEM Pot LimitsThe
minimum bet at the start of each round of Texas Holdem is the amount of the big
blind wager. The maximum eligible bet is the amount of money currently in the
pot. The maximum allowable bet is calculated as the pot size after an individual
calls all existing wagers. For example, if there is $10 in the pot and Player
1 wagers $5, then Player 2 could call $5 or raise up to an additional $20. That
is, when Player 2 puts her $5 into the pot, the pot becomes $20. She could just
call the $5, or raise any amount from $5 to $20. Thus, she could put in a maximum
of $25. During the course of a round of Texas Holdem betting, a bet size cannot
decline. (A bet or raise must equal or exceed the preceding bet or raise.) If
someone bets or raises $5, then the next player's minimum raise would be $5. You
could not, for example, raise a $5 bet by $2. (Exception: You can always go all
in—wager all of your remaining chips—even if that amount would cause you to make
a raise smaller than that permitted by this rule.) © COPYRIGHT 2004-8 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Best-texasholdem.com |
