Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
4. Pot Limit.
4. Pot Limit. Undoubtedly the fastest betting limit of all the limits played today at Texas Hold'em Poker. A player at his betting turn is permitted to bet any amount up to the total amount in the pot.
5. Table Stakes.
5. Table Stakes. Each player puts up a specified amount of money on the table, but not less than a minimum agreed on beforehand. A player may increase or decrease the amount he has on the table, but only after a showdown and before the next deal. He may not take any money off the table before he leaves the game. On any bet a player is permitted to bet any or all of the amount he has in front of him. (See "Tapping Out" under General Rules for Online Hold'em Poker.) But, after the tap ping-out hand, the player may continue playing by putting more money on the table.
