 | Texas Holdem Poker - Betting Limits
Texas Hold'em is played for a wide variety of limits. What all of these limits
have in common is that they adhere to the same betting structure, which is
a 1-2 ratio. The bets before the flop and on the flop will be exactly one small
bet, the lower betting tier, and the bets on the turn and river will be exactly
one big bet, the higher betting tier (twice the small bet).
The most
common betting limits are $1-$2, $4-$6, $4-$8, $5-$10, $10-$20,
$15-$30, $20-$40, $30-$60, $60-$120,
$100-$200 and $300-$600. You must bet exactly the amount mentioned and that
is why this is called structured game. You are not free to bet, for example,
$4 or $5 in a $3-$6 game.
Another
betting structure that has become very popular is called $1-$4-$8-$8 Limit.
This means that you may bet from $1 to $4 before the
flop, and you may bet
from $1-$4 after the flop. On the turn you can bet between $1 and $8 and
you can make the same bet on the river.
