What does no limit mean in poker (when talking about Texas Holdem)?

Q&A 17.08.2016 | 0 | gowild

When I got interested in poker, I started learning the information about it and it occurred, that poker is not just one game (I mean, there is a great variety of games like Fixed Limit Texas Holdem, Pot Limit Texas Holdem, Omaha etc.).

So, I have a question: what does “No-Limit” mean in Texas Holdem variation?

There is 3 variations of Texas Holdem:
- No Limit Texas Holdem
- Fixed Limit Texas Holdem
- Pot Limit Texas Holdem

They differ by maximum size of bet at any betting round. Therefore, No Limit Holdem doesn’t have any limits on the size of a bet (you can set any bet you want whenever you want). The maximum bet is only limited by the size of your initial stake, actually.

In the Fixed Limit Holdem the bet can not exceed the current big blind in any betting round. Moreover, players can make not more that 4 raises during each round.

The Pot Limit Texas Holdem has the maximum bet size limited to the current size of the pot. So the maximum bet can’t be bigger than the pot at the moment.
