Lesson 14: No-Limit and Pot-Limit

Hello class! Now that weve got some tournament talk out of the way, and youre quickly moving up in your poker intelligence, we can look at no-limit and pot-limit poker, which are popular variations youll find at most online poker rooms. Its better to keep up with all the trends, so we hope you find the following intro useful:

No-limit poker

The range of skills involved in no-limit games can be so eclectic and varied that even battle-hardened professionals admit that they still have a lot to learn about no-limit Holdem. However, dont let this scare you; no-limit Holdem is still the most fun of all poker games as well as being potentially profitable even for absolute beginners.

The key to winning no-limit games is not only your own knowledge of the game but your ability to adapt to your opponents knowledge. Learn just how honed your own skills are and what your weak points are, and then apply this to how badly others at your table are playing no-limit. See our strategy (ADD LINK) section for much more.

Pot-limit poker

Pot-limit is a popular offline game in Europe and in online gambling in general. It is very similar to no-limit poker, where the minimum bet is structured as in limit poker and the maximum bet is simply the amount of money in the pot.

Many people play pot-limit because they find this sort of poker the most fun but think that pot-limit is less dangerous than no-limit. This is true in that its slightly less dangerous because another player cant put you all-in unless the pot has been building.

However, in reality, you are at a huge disadvantage if youre playing pot-limit scared. For example, if you fold because you dont want the pot to build, then you will fold winners!

And if you refuse to go in big when you have a good hand, youre not being aggressive enough on your big winners. Ultimately, if you want a slightly less risky game than no-limit, then playing pot-limit is fine, but you need to realize that you must still be prepared to bet your entire stack or you could lose it all. Check out our strategy section for a deeper look at pot-limit poker.

Good luck and have fun!
