• There are four types of limits in Poker. No limit, pot limit, spread limit and fixed limit. No limit games allow players to raise their bets to any amount. In a pot limit game, players cannot raise more than the total sum of the pot. A spread limit indicates the specific range of bets that can be made by players, and fixed limit games give players only one choice – to bet or not to bet.
