Poker game limits
Using 2 / 4 limit Texas holdem, all bets on the first two rounds must be 2 and all bets on the last two rounds must be 4. The 2 also represents the size of the big blind, so in the first round of betting, each player may fold, call the big blind of 2 or raise by placing a bet equal to the size of the last bet plus 2. The first raise would be a total bet of 4, 2 to call the big blind and 2 for the raise.
No Limit Poker
No limit poker is the betting limit for most televised poker tournaments and is becoming more popular in individual poker rooms. In a no limit game, any player may bet any amount up to and including the amount of chips he or she has on the table any time they act. There are only two betting limit guidelines in no limit poker, both dealing with the minimum amount you can raise. Any raise must be at least the size of the last bet on the round of betting and any bet must be at least as much as the big blind.
Blinds and Dealer
Texas Hold'em uses a blinds system instead of antes to get each pot started with a little money. The two players to the left of the dealer pay the small blind and big blind. As the dealer’s position moves each hand, the position of the blinds moves around the table. This way each player must take a turn paying the blinds.
The payer directly to the left of the dealer pays the small blind while the player to the left of the small blind pays the big blind. The blinds are sized so that the small blind is equal to half a minimum bet, and the big blind is equal to one minimum bet. For example, the blinds in a $10/$20 Limit Hold'em game would be $5.00 and $10.00.
If you are playing No Limit Texas Hold'em however, the stakes of the game are the blinds. So if you are playing a $10/$20 No Limit Hold'em game, the small blind would be $10 and the big blind would be $20.
In games that employ the use of a full time dealer, a small round disc called the “dealer’s button” is used to represent the position of the dealer each hand. At the beginning of each hand, the dealer’s button moves one seat to the left.
Preflop
After the blinds have been paid, each player is dealt two cards face down, one at a time. The dealers begins with the player to his left and then deals clockwise around the table until each player has two cards.
Next, there is a betting round that begins with the player to the left of the big blind. This player may call the minimum bet to stay in, raise it or fold. After that player acts, the action continues clockwise around the table. If anyone makes a bet or raise, the other players at the table must at least match that bet or fold.
When it comes time for the blinds to act, their forced bets are considered a part of the cost of staying in. So if there is no raise, the big blind may simply check to stay in, since he has already paid one minimum bet.
Flop
Now the flop, or the first three community cards, is dealt face up in the middle of the table. There is another betting round, but this time it starts with the first player to the left of the dealer. This person may check, bet, or fold. The action then continues clockwise.
Turn
One more card is dealt face up next to the flop. This is called the “turn” card. There is another round of betting just like the last round. If it’s a fixed limit game, the upper betting limit would be used from here on out.
River
One final card is dealt face up next to the turn. This is called the “river” card. Now there is a final round of betting. If there is more than one player remaining after this round of betting, the play proceeds to a showdown to determine the winner. If there is only 1 player left after this round, that player may collect the pot without showing his cards.
Showdown
Any players still in the hand now reveal their hole cards. The player with the best five card poker hand, using any combination of hole cards and community cards, wins the pot.
