What is the basic rule of playing Poker?

 

One of the first things you should understand about Poker is how odds work. The odds are what determine the payout amount for each hand in a poker game. To calculate the payoff, simply divide your total bet by your total winnings. This tells you how much money you're winning for every dollar that you put into play. For example, if I have a 10:1 payout on my hand, all I need to do is wager one dollar and win ten dollars back; this can be seen as 1/10 or 0.10 in decimal format (or "ten percent").

 

Betting Actions One Must Know

 

When the game starts, the player can decide from the following actions:

 

  • Bet- One can make a bet when no other player bets in that round.
  • Fold- Giving up your claim by throwing away the cards and leaving the pot as well as the game.
  • Call- Any player has to match is the last highest bet in the round.
  • Check- Without keeping the money in the pot, passing the action to the next player sitting in a clockwise arrangement.
  • Raise- Making a bet bigger than the highest bet made by a player in a betting round.
  • All-in- Putting all the chips in a pot together, after which no action is allowed to that player.

 

What are the Different Limits in Poker Betting?

 

There are three types of betting limits in a poker:

  1. No Limit: As its name says, there is no limit to maximum bet in this type of betting format. Anyone can bet their entire chip stack in the betting round when their turn comes. In this type of round, the minimum raise is equal to the bet of the previous player.

 

  1. Pot Limit: In this type of betting round, players are not supposed to raise more money than the total size of the pot. Any player can bet the minimum to blog blind and maximum to the size of the pot.

 

  1. Fixed Limit: Players have the freedom to raise to a specific limit. All players mutually decide the bet size and the number of raises allowed before the betting round starts.
