Various Forms of Texas Hold'em Poker

The 3 different types of Hold'em are Limit, No-limit and Pot-limit. These names actually refer to the way that the betting is played out in each game.

In Limit, there is a fixed limit on the value of each individual bet at each stage of the game.

In No-limit, each player is free to bet however many of his chips that he or she wishes at any time.

In Pot-limit Hold’em, players are at liberty to bet the amount of the entire pot (but no more) at any time. It should be obvious from this that novices should only play Limit Hold’em while learning the game. No-limit and Pot-limit are much riskier types of Hold'em in which it would be easy to see your entire stack of chips lost very quickly. However, this does not necessarily mean that Limit Hold’em is in any way inferior for some of the biggest pots in poker are played out in Limit!
