Fixed Limit for Texas Holdem Poker

Video Transcript

"Let's look now at a demonstration of fixed limit betting. All the cards are dealt. Got two card starter hands, that's Texas Holdem. Now this is demonstration of Two-Four Limit Holdem. What that means is, that the initial bet, the betting amounts for pre-flop and the first betting round after the flop, the betting amount is two, two chips, two dollars. Then on a turn and the river the betting amount is four. Now in that scenario, in the two-four scenario, the small blind is half of the big blind. So the small blind is one, big blind is two. The person to the left of the dealer is the forced action small blind and the person to the left of him is the big blind. The person to left of the big blind acts first. Looks at their cards, decides that they are going to fold. This person looks at his cards, likes his hand, and if he wants to raise, he can raise one big blind. So he says raise, goes up to four. Big blind is two, he got four out there. This person can fold, call or raise again. Being that he's on the button he decides he is going to call, puts his four up. Now the action goes to the small blind. Small blind maybe doesn’t like his hand, but it's only three chips to call. He decides to call. And the big blind, he's probably going to stay in no matter what, because if you do the math here, he's got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven big blinds out there and unless he looks at a seven deuce, he's probably going to call because he is getting seven to one on his money.
