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
