how many times can yuo raise in one round

[seanuk]

you could potentially go round for ever each each man raises each time ? is there a limit ?

[Muck]

I think there usually is in a Fixed Limit games (known as the cap).

Not in No Limit though.

NB: A player can raise more than once per round if someone else has raised them back. Your post implies you might not have been aware of this.

yeah - my post count reflects the fact i'm a noob!

i was refering to no-limits.

thanks

Also, most fixed limit games do not have a cap if you are heads up.

No limit, between two people, is usually capped at 4 raises, i think.

I'm pretty sure no limit means, no limit. As in, unlimited. The only rules as far as amounts are that you must bet a minimum equal too or more than the previous bet/raise.

are you on crack? :D

We have a house rule that says after 4 re-raises from each person the dealer has to shout [i]“Stop f**king min-raising and push you’ve both obviously got something!â€

Think about this.

Lets say we're playing on a 1000nl table and players A and C were colluding.

Innocent old B is sitting at the table with a full stack, as are our two villians.

Now lets say there's a juicy river in a 200 buck pot. Our fine friends decide to act drunk and go into a minraise war, with our innocent chump in between. Ofcourse he's never going to fold to a simple 10 dollar raise, so he calls, only to find himself stuck in between. 3 hours later, after the rest of the table has long fallen asleep, our innocent B is 800 poorer, after C shows his nuts and A mucks with a gentle rap of the table, tossing his cards in the middle of the muck.

Woo! Poker is so exciting.

Ok so you're not on crack. You're on extacy!

Woops. I meant more than 2 people I think. I've definitely heard of this rule but I don't quite remember the wording.

[Soup_dog]

In limit, I have always heard that heads up there is no cap. More than 2 players has a 4 raise limit.

In no-limit I have never heard of any limits on the number of raises.

In multi-way pots, you're absolutely right. The situation probably comes up a lot less in NL than FL, but the purpose of the rule is the same.

I believe the limit terms may vary, even heads-up.

Here in Colorado we only have limited-stakes gambling, and I'm pretty sure that even heads-up it's capped at four.

But I think that's also the exception to the rule. "Normal" places let you go at it heads-up until one guy figures out the wrong end of the full house is no good.

I believe the ruling is something about limiting the amount of money you can lose in one hand. I once played in a tournament up there where (no kidding) the first two hands were limit, then it switched to no-limit for exactly that reason--whatever the buy-in was, they had to spread your loss across at least three hands.
