What is Pot Limit in Poker Games?

• Pot limit is one of the most popular Poker game
  betting structures. As the name suggests, in a
  pot limit game, you can bet money in the pot only
  up to its current size (amount of money already
  available in the pot). You cannot wager more than
  this amount in any betting round. The bet size
  increases gradually with the size of the pot.

How to Pot Limit Betting Structure Works

• As per the rules, in a pot-limit game, the amount
  of minimum bet equals the size of the previous
  bet/raise. The amount of maximum bet equals the
  size of the entire pot. For example at flop,
  there is INR 1000 in the pot. The maximum you can
  bet in this situation is INR 1000.
• Before making a raise, you need to determine the
  maximum amount of chips you can bet. To
  calculate, you need to count the call amount,
  adds it to the pot, and raises the size of the
  pot. For example - If there is INR 1000 in the
  pot and the player before your turn bets 500, you
  can either call with 500 or raise.
• Raise amount 2000 (1000 the initial pot size
  500 opponents bet size 500 your call. The total
  pot size is 2000 which you can raise) After your
  raise of 2000, the new pot size becomes 4000.

Calculating Pot size

• When you play a pot-limit cash games online, the
  software helps you calculate the bet amount when
  you click the pot button in the game menu. In
  an offline game, you need to figure out the right
  bet amount on your own. Also, before making the
  maximum bet, you need to announce by saying
  pot.

The Post-flop Game

• After the flop, the game becomes more intense as
  players start making raises/re-raises in order to
  scare away the opponents. Due to their aggressive
  play, the pot begins growing in size. To save
  your precious chips, it is important to play only
  with strong hands in a pot-limit game post-flop
  if you are not in position. Your online poker
  strategy must be based on pot odds and your
  understanding of your opponents gameplay.
  Similar to a no-limit game, you can make great
  profits at pot-limit tables. All you need to do
  to win the gigantic pots is play with focus and
  patience to outwit the skilled opponents at the
  table.
