Four Ways To Bet With The Popular Poker Game Texas Hold Em

By Kim Franklin


Despite the fact that the United States tried to make it appear unlawful to deposit money to gamble online, and this fact is debated among lawyers, poker continues to grow in popularity through the different tournaments that appear on TV like the World Series of Poker on ESPN. This created a odd situation: while players claim that poker is not a game of luck, the US government determined that it is. For a period of time back in 2006 crazed uncertainty permeated the poker world as rumors spread like the plague that this ban would stop all tournaments. But this proved to be untrue. In fact, because of the online gambling ban, the popularity of tournaments only increased. And in most of these tournaments, the favored game is Texas Hold em. The game is played with several basic betting structures.

Fixed Limit Betting: This refers to the two limits on the betting rounds you play . During the first two rounds, you bet according to the lower amount, and then you start betting according to the higher amount set. When you see a game referred to according two amounts such as three and six dollar limit, it means that this game will be played according to the structured wager. Another thing to remember when entering such poker games is that you can only place four wagers each round and not one more.

Spread Limit Betting, Examples are games which can be played between a range of say ten to fifty dollars.Be aware that such games can become quite costly because some might bet the highest amount possible, in this case fifty dollars. Another variation of the spread limit bet is to have a range of four wagers. What this means is that there is a certain amount you can bet for the round before the flop, for the round on the flop, and on the round after the flop and a certain amount for the river, although this betting scheme is a bit rare.

Basic Pot Limit Bet: In such Texas Hold em games labeled as being played according to the basic pot limit, what it means is that you can place wagers anywhere between the amount that is the big blind and the total size of the game pot. Here too, take note that games such as these can result in high cash pots.

No Limit Poker This is the one style that attracts the high rollers from all around. Here, there is no limit at all on how much you wager or raise. Note that unless you are prepared to be high-roller or unless you have a tremendous amount of skill and expertise at the game, stay away from these tables.
