General Rules for Pot Limit Poker: Once you know how to play
Omaha Hi,
Omaha
Hi/Lo, and Texas
Hold'em, the rules for Pot Limit become very easy to learn. The difference
between regular Limit games and Pot Limit games is the betting amounts.
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 $10 then the second player must raise a minimum
of $10 (total bet of $20).
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 $20 and the first player to act in the
round bets $15 and the next player calls $15. The third player has a maximum
eligible total bet of $80. The $80 total is his $15 call and $65 raise. The
$65 max raise portion is equal to the pot of $20 + first player's $15 + second
player's $15 + his own call of $15.
Note: There is no cap to the number of raises in Pot Limit games.
When playing at Belmont.com
poker you have a betting "slider" which allows you to bet many amounts between
the minimum and maximum allowable bet size.
At each Pot Limit table there is a Maximum Buy-In amount. Belmont.com currently
has three different maximum buy-in amounts of $50, $100, $200 and $400 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.
Pot Limit games can be thrilling and for newer online poker players we recommend getting
familiar with the large betting amounts at the Tournament tables where you can
better control the amount of money you wish to risk.
All-In Policy: If you are connected to the game server when it

within the allowable 30 seconds, your hand will be FOLDED.These rules
are in place to protect the integrity and fairness of the games for all European and
