If you are familiar with the rules for Limit Poker, you will
not need to learn too much more to understand the rules for Pot-Limit
Poker.
The Betting Rules :
 |
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 $100 then the second player
must raise a minimum of $100 (total bet of $200).
|
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 $200 and
the first player to act in the round bets $150 and the next player
calls $150... the third player has a maximum eligible total bet of
$800. The $800 total is his $150 call and $650 raise. The $650 max
raise portion is equal to the pot of $200 + first player's $150 +
second player's $150 + his own call of $150.

Methods to bet:
When playing on PartyPoker.com, you will have three methods of betting to
use:
|
The bet button- Just like in a Limit Poker Game,
you can click the bet button, which will display the minimum amount
you can bet or raise.
|
The bet box- The bet box is a text box that allows
you to type in the exact amount you want to bet or raise. Once you
have entered the amount to bet or raise, the bet button will reflect
this amount. Then click the bet button and your bet will be placed.
|
The slider- The slider is a device that you can
use with your mouse to increase or decrease the amount of your bet or
raise. Simply drag the bar on the slider to the amount of money you
want to bet or raise. As you slide, the bet amount will be reflected
on the bet button. When you find the amount you want to bet or raise,
simply click the bet button and your bet will be made
|
| |
At each Pot-Limit table there is a Maximum Buy-In amount.
PartyPoker.com currently has two different maximum buy-in amounts of $25
and $50 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.
