General rules for Pot Limit Poker
Once you know how to play limit
Omaha high, limit
Omaha Hi/Lo and limit
Hold'em, the rules for Pot Limit are very easy to
learn. The difference between regular limit games and
Pot limit games is when it comes to the betting amounts.
The betting rules are simple:
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 $10 then the second player must
raise a minimum of $10 (total bet of $20).
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
$20 and the first player to act in the round bets $15
and the next player calls $15... the third player has
a maximum eligible total bet of $80. The $80 total is
his $15 call and $65 raise. The $65 max raise portion
is equal to the pot of $20 + first player's $15 + second
player's $15 + his own call of $15. There is no
cap to the number of raises in Pot Limit games.
When playing at FanatikPoker you have a
betting "slider" which allows you to bet many amounts
between the minimum and maximum allowable bet size.
At each Pot Limit table there is a Maximum
Buy-In amount. FanatikPoker currently has three different
maximum buy-in amounts of $50, $100 and $200 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.
Pot Limit games can be thrilling and for
newer players we recommend getting familiar with the large
betting amounts at the Tournament tables where you can
better control the amount of money you wish to risk.
All-in Policy
If you are connected to the game server
when it is your turn to act in a No Limit or Pot Limit
game and you timeout by not acting within the allowable
30 seconds, your hand will be FOLDED.
These rules are in place to protect the
integrity and fairness of the games for all players, including
yourself.
