Pot Limit Texas Holdem Poker
If you are familiar with the rules for Limit Holdem Poker,
you will not need to learn too much more to understand the
rules for Pot-Limit Holdem Poker. If you are not familiar
with our Limit Poker rules click
here to read them and then return to the Pot-Limit
Poker section.
The Betting Rules :
-
Minimum eligible raise: The raise
amount must be at least as much as the previous bet or
raise in the same round. As an example, if the first
player to act bets $100 then the second player must
raise a minimum of $100 (total bet of $200).
-
Maximum eligible raise: The size
of the pot. The size of the pot is defined as the
total of the Pot in the middle plus all bets on the
table plus the amount the active player must first
call before raising. As an example, the pot in the
middle is $200 and the first player to act in the
round bets $150 and the next player calls $150... the
third player has a maximum eligible total bet of $800.
The $800 total is his $150 call and $650 raise. The
$650 max raise portion is equal to the pot of $200 +
first player's $150 + second player's $150 + his own
call of $150.

Methods to bet:
When playing on PartyPoker.com, you will have three
methods of betting to use:
-
The bet button- Just like in a
Limit Poker
Game, you can click the bet button, which will
display the minimum amount you can bet or raise.
-
The bet box- The bet box is a text
box that allows you to type in the exact amount you
want to bet or raise. Once you have entered the amount
to bet or raise, the bet button will reflect this
amount. Then click the bet button and your bet will be
placed.
-
The slider- The slider is a device
that you can use with your mouse to increase or
decrease the amount of your bet or raise. Simply drag
the bar on the slider to the amount of money you want
to bet or raise. As you slide, the bet amount will be
reflected on the bet button. When you find the amount
you want to bet or raise, simply click the bet button
and your bet will be made
At each Pot-Limit table there is a Maximum
Buy-In amount. PartyPoker.com currently has three
different maximum buy-in amounts of $25, $50 and $100 in
order to ensure all players have an opportunity to be
competitive at Pot Limit without having to compete against
players with thousands of dollars in front of them. |
