The Table
The game play remains same for both No-Limit and Pot-Limit Texas Hold'em game with a few exceptions to the rules mentioned above:
Limit Texas Hold'em allows four bets at max per player during any betting round. This includes a bet, raise, re-raise and cap in that order. But for No-Limit and Pot-Limit there is no limit to the number of raises that can be made by a player. The only criterion is that one cannot raise himself/herself, (i.e. if a player bets during a betting round, then that player would have to be raised by another player in order for him/her to be able to re-raise). If all the other players in the hand only call or fold, the player would not have an option to raise since the last raise was his.
The No-Limit Texas Hold'em Betting Structure
Minimum raise: The raise amount must be at least as much as the previous bet or raise in the same round. For instance, if the first player to act bets $50 then the second player must raise a minimum of $50 (total bet of $100).
Maximum eligible raise: The size of your stack or rather the number of chips on your table.
The Betting Rules for Pot-Limit Texas Hold'em
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 $100 then the second player must raise a minimum of $100 (total bet of $200).
Maximum eligible raise: The size of the pot. The size of the pot here means the cumulative sum of the Active Pot, the bets on the table and the amount the active player must call before raising. As an example, if the active pot is $200 and the first player to act in the round bets $150 and the next player calls $150, the third player has a maximum eligible total bet of $800. The $800 total is made up of the $150 call and $650 raise.
The $650 max raise portion is equal to the pot of $200 + first player's $150 + second player's $150 + his own call of $150.
