Enjoy the difference of no limit poker

Over the years and throughout the history of poker, many different poker variations have emerged. Today, one can choose to play: poker, 3 card poker, Texas Hold'em poker, Omaha hi-lo poker, 7 card stud poker, 5 card draw poker, to name but a few. And now, many of these poker games can be played in their limit or no limit variations.

No limit poker is definitely a fun way of adding spice to a standard poker game as a different betting structure is in place when playing the game that gives it new character. In a lot of no limit variations there are a separate set of rules, but this only affects the game in a minimal way, as the basis of the game of whichever poker one selects, pretty much remains the same.

With no limit poker the fundamental differences are as follows: first, there is "no limit" to the number of raises that can be made in any betting round. Second, all wagers placed in this form of poker must be equivalent in monetary terms AT LEAST to the minimum bring in, with the one exception of the case where a player is going all in. Third, all raises have to be the same (or higher) than the previous wager placed except in the case of an all-in wager.

Fourth (which is definitely a benefit in no limit poker), any bet made is not binding until the chips have been released into the pot unless the player verbally stated otherwise and should there be any kind of discrepancy, the verbal statement will take priority. Fifth, any player who says "raise" can carry on putting chips into the pot with more than one move. Sixth, any bet made with one chip with no verbal statement accompanying it is seen as the full amount allowed.

There are other rules to be found with no limit poker, so a player should check out the specifics of these, depending on which games and at which casino, he or she chooses to play.
