Pot Limit in Omaha Poker

Video Transcript

"So we're talking about pot limit Omaha. So what does that mean--pot limit? It means that when you bet, you can bet the minimum, which is the big blind, and/or you can raise up to the amount of the total pot at the time that you're making the raise. So, let's look at that in action. We've got our dealer button out. We've got the dealer designated. We've got the small blind, and we got the big blind out. We deal our four pocket cards to everyone, and then the person to the left of the big blind is the first to act. Let's say he looks at his cards, he wants to play, and he wants to bet the pot. He says raise. And the thing about when the small blind and the big blind are out, and no one else has entered the pot, is that an easy way to determine how much the bet should be is to multiply the small blind times seven. So, if I put out seven chips, I've bet the pot. And the way you look at that is, here are the three chips that are in the pot, and then I can raise to here. Now let's say the action goes on. My friends call. Some community cards are dealt. Now, if someone wants to bet, they bet the pot. And what's the pot? It's twenty-one chips, seven times three. If I say raise, I've got to bet. And if I say I'll bet the pot, it's twenty-one chips."
