General rules for Pot Limit Poker
Once you know how to play limit Omaha high, limit Omaha Hi/Lo and limit Hold'em, the rules for Pot Limit are very easy to learn. The difference between regular limit games and Pot limit games is when it comes to the betting amounts. The betting rules are simple:
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. There is no cap to the number of raises in Pot Limit games.
When playing at Paradise 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. Paradise currently has three different maximum buy-in amounts of $50, $100 and $200 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 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 is your turn to act in a No Limit or Pot Limit game and you timeout by not acting 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 players, including yourself.
