Hi Poker Players,

When it comes to playing Texas Hold em there is three options:

Pot Limit: limits the amount of the bet to whats in the pot.

No Limit: No limit to what a player can bet in a round.

Limit: Restricts the amount of the bet for each round.

The most popular is No Limit. No Limit is my favorite way to play hold em. I don't like to play with any type of restictions. I feel it allows the donkeys an even better chance of taking the pot with a garbage hand. Putting restrictions on the bet makes it more difficult to take command at the table.

What is your favorite limit to play or not play and why?

Hi Lips!!


Well, As a no limit player, I found I had so much more control over the outcome of a game. If I have a good hand, I can make a large enough bet to discourage players from chasing a draw hand. This is almost impossible in the low stakes limit game where everyone just calls all the way down to the river, and is justified to do so because of the pot odds (the size of the bet compared to the size of the pot). If I can limit those players calling me down by betting them out, the odds of my strong hand holding up and winning increases dramatically.

In the game of No-Limit Texas Holdem, I can win pots by semi-bluffing or stone cold bluffing. There is more opportunity to play the person as opposed to just playing the cards. At any point, you could potentially end the hand with a crushing bet.

In No-limit Texas Hold'em a player may bet all of his/her chips at any time At a $.25-.50 no limit table, the small blind is $.25, the big blind is $.50, the minimum bet for all four rounds of betting is $.50, and the maximum bet for all rounds is whatever you have at the table. In a certain online casino where I've been playing the $.25-.50 tables most recently, the maximum bankroll you may sit down with is $50. So at any point in a hand, you have the ability to put it all on the line by going all-in, even as your bankroll increases. There are also no limits to the number of raises.
