    Pot Limit betting

    Never having played any live PL games, can someone explain this to me please. eg if blinds are 100/200 utg can bet a max of 700, correct? How is this calculated? I would have thought it's 500, i know im wrong but not sure why

    Double the last bet plus whats in the pot.

    200 x 2 = 400

    400 + 200 +100 = 700

      So utg +1 can now bet 1,500?

        The last bet was 700, meaning there is now 1000 in the pot. UTG+1, if he wants to raise pot doubles the last bet, 2 x 700 =1400 plus what's in the pot, 1000, meaning a bet of 2400.

              3 times the last bet plus the pot so if it's 1/2/5 cash game utg can make it 18 (3x5+1+2) next up can make it 62 (3x18+5+2+1)

                Just imagine the player to act has called the bet he is facing. That is now the size of the pot. And he can raise that amount. Like in the first example he's facing a bet of 200 to call. He calls making the pot 500 and can now raise 500 making a total of 700(his call of 200 + raise of 500). Its not that confusing once you include the players call making up the size of the pot

                  This.

                  3X last bet plus pot.

                    ^This is the correct answer.

                    Max raise is calculated as in pot total if you call.
                    When UTG calls, the 200 BB, there is 500 in a called pot, so he then can raise the BB by 500.
                    When facing 1 pot bet, you always get 2 to 1 on your money. In this case, if folded to the BB, he has to call 500 into a 1000 pot.


                    The 2xlast bet plus pot, and, 3xlast bet plus pot, are just quick ways of working it out, but not the actual rule. They are both correct, reason being that the 3x doesn't count the last bet as part of the pot and the 2x does.

                    So for the UTG raiser.
                    He can make it = (original bet) plus 100+200+200(his call)
                    2x = 100+200(pot) plus 2x200
                    3x = 100(pot ex. bet) plus 3x200

                    It's all the same amount (700), its just how you group the 100 and 200s.
