In Pot Limit, any player can raise any amount within a range defined by the value of the pot at the time of the player's turn to act.

Minimum raise : Must be at least as much as the previous bet or raise in the same round. For example: if the first player to act bets $10 then the second player must raise a minimum of $10 (total bet of $20).

Maximum raise : The maximum bet is the same as the size of the pot. The size of the pot is defined as the total value of the Pot in the middle plus all bets on the table plus the amount the active player must first call before raising.

In order to see how the raise limit is calculated, assume you're playing a game with $1-$2 blinds. The next player can fold, call the $2, or raise by placing between $4 and $7 in the pot. If the player bets $4, he's raised the minimum, because the previous bet was $2, and he's doubling that.

The player is betting the maximum if he bets $7, because he's first calling the $2 blind bet, creating a total pot size of $5 then raising the size of the pot. The $2 call plus the $5 raise yields the $7 bet.

For now let's assume the first player to act does bet $7. The pot now contains $10. The next player to act could fold, call the $7 bet, or raise by betting between $12 and $24. This is correct because the minimum raise, the size of the previous raise, is $5 and the maximum raise is $24, by calling the $7 bet and then raising the size of the now $17 pot.

If several players make consecutive pot-sized raises, a pot can escalate dramatically. Beginning players are recommended to play limit poker before advancing to pot limit.

When playing at English Harbour Poker you have a betting "slider" that allows you to bet many amounts between the minimum and maximum allowable bet size.

 

English Harbour Poker currently has a Maximum Buy-In amount at each Pot Limit table, with three different maximum buy-in amounts of $25, $50 and $100.
