existing betting round. In No Limit poker, the amount
you can bet is determined by the size of the blinds, total
chips left by the players and total number of chips bet by
former players in the current betting round. Whereas, in
Pot Limit poker, the amount you can bet is determined
same as in case of No Limit. But here, limit on the maximum
bet is determined by the performance in the current betting
round and the size of the pot.

"all-in" bet. When it's your turn to take action, you can

blind, at the starting of each betting round. Here, the
minimum bet, you can compose is equal to the previous
biggest raise in the existing betting round. If you don't
have a sufficient amount chips to raise the minimum amount,
you can still opt to make a rise by going "all in".
RULES FOR FIXED LIMIT BETTING -
In fixed limit bets, the maximum bet you can make in the
first and the second betting rounds is equal to the total of
