Texas Hold'em Variants

Limit Hold'em

Limit Hold'em is the most popular game both online and in live casinos. In limit Texas Hold'em, there are predetermined bets for each round. For example in a $10-$20 Limit Hold'em game, all bets and raises during the betting rounds before and immediately after the flop are $10, while bets for the turn and the river are $20. Typically the big blind in Internet Limit Hold'em is equal to the bets required in the first two rounds, and the little blind is half a bet. In addition, all bets and raises must be greater than or equal to the previous bet or raise, with the exception of a player that is raising all in. If a player does raise all in, and that bet is not greater than or equal to the previous raise, then the door is not opened for the original raiser to reraise.
