Poker Betting Structures
A term that usually refers to the money or betting aspect of poker
play is the game's limit. High-limit games are ones that involve
a lot of money. Low-limit games are the opposite.
With regard to poker betting amounts, it can be as follows:
Structured Limit
This means that the amount that can be bet is set. These games will
be called things like $1/$2 or $20/$40 games. In Hold 'Em, the amount
that can be bet pre-flop or on the flop is the first number. In
a $5/$10 game, you'll be betting $5 at a time. On the turn and river,
the amount doubles. In that same $5/$10 game, players bet $10 at
a time after the turn card is dealt. There is a limit of four bets
per player per betting round. That means a player can bet, get re-raised,
re-raise again, and be re-raised. You may encounter a structured
game with three betting amounts, like $5/$10/$20. This is the same
as before except on the river. On that round of betting, players
can bet either of the two final amounts. In the case of a $5/$10/$20
game, that means a player can bet $10 or $20 on the river.
Spread Limit
This is where players can bet within a certain range of amounts.
In a $1-$5 game, a player can bet between $1 and $5 during any betting
round. If there are four amounts, like $1-$5-$10-$10, that means
you can bet between $1 and $5 pre-flop and on the flop. On the turn
it goes up to the 3rd number (between $1 and $10), and on the river
it goes up to the last number (between $1 and $10). If there are
three amounts, like $1-$5-$10, that means that you can bet from
$1 to $5 during any betting round, but on the river you can bet
between $1 and $10. This would be the same as a $1-$5-$5-$10 game.
Pot Limit
This is where a player can bet any amount between the cost of the
big blind and the size of the pot on any betting round.
No Limit
This is where you can bet any amount between the cost of the big
blind and the amount of money you have at the table on any betting
round.
