When playing no-limit poker, players are free to bet any amount they chose as long as it’s equal or greater than the big blind. Meaning players can move all their chips into the pot whenever its their turn to bet. There are rules to All-in bets. You're not allowed to move all in and throw your wallet or your car keys into the pot, this only happen in the movies. You cannot even change more chips or pull chips from your pocket or even take chips from a friend or another player. Poker rooms and casinos always use the “table stakes” rule. This means you can never bet anything more than the money/chips you are displaying on the table when the hand started. This begs the question, is it really No-Limit Poker? Many poker players make the mistake of thinking that no-limit poker is more hazardous to your bankroll than fixed-limit poker. It all depends on what stakes you play and how you play. No-Limit Betting Rules 1. At No Limit tables, players are free to bet any amount that they wish as long as it is at least the size of the big blind. On a table of $1/2 No Limit Holdem, players may bet a minimum of $2, and any amount up to the full amount they hold on the table at the start of the hand. 2. When a player wants to raise a bet, the raise must be a minimum of twice the original bet. If Bob bets $4 in a game of $1/2 No Limit Holdem, and Richard wishes to raise, Richard must raise a minimum of $4, so his minimum raise would be $8. 3. The maximum a player can bet in a No-Limit poker game is determined by the amount of money he/she has in his/her stack. For example, if you have $200 on the table, you can bet a maximum of $200 dollars only. You cannot add chips in the middle of a hand. www.WhatPoker.net 20th july 2009
