Fixed Limit

Fixed Limit is a betting structure where bet sizes and raises are fixed and cannot be exceeded. 

How it works

• Each round has a set bet size (e.g., $2/$4 Limit Hold’em). 
• Raises are limited to a specific number per betting round. 

Relevance for players

• Reduces risk of sudden large losses. 
• Encourages pot-control and strategic discipline. 
• Bluffing is harder; value betting is essential. 
• Great for beginners and for long sessions. 
• Relevance for operators

Fixed Limit tables generally: 

• Have longer session lengths 
• Offer predictable rake 
• Attract “old-school” players 

Modern players prefer No Limit, but Fixed Limit remains popular in: 

• Mixed games (H.O.R.S.E.) 
• Certain regulated markets 
• US live casinos
