Betting Structure question

[cly__]

In NL Hold'em do the minimum bets in each round following the pre-flop bet have to equal the big blind? I have searched and cant seem to find the answer. Thanks!

correct.

all bets from the flop to the river must at least be equal to or greater than the big blind.

(ie: if blinds are 2 and 4, a bet of 2 is invalid and must be made into a bet of 4 whether the player wants to or not. once a "bet" has been declared, the minimum that may be put out is the big blind, even if he/she changes their mind once they realize the bet must be 4)

I thought that the bet on the flop had to be equal to the small bet, and then all bets on the turn and river were equal to the big bet.

I play 0.25/0.50 NL on PokerRoom and this is how the betting structure is there. Min. bet on flop is 0.25, Min. bet on turn and river is 0.50.

You are confusing the the small/big blinds with with small/big bets (bb/BB)

on a 2 (bb)/4 (BB) table the small blind is 1 and big blind is 2.

yeah, i play pokerroom too (right now, in fact) and the small blind in the .25/.50 game is .10. the flop bet is .25, and .50 after that.

that may be the case, but in a no-limit game, the minimum bet is always equal to the Big Blind, no matter street you are on.

Actually, that's how PokerRoom's games work in both limit and NL. To my knowledge PokerRoom is the only site that does that.

pokerroom is the only place I've ever seen that also. The standard rule is that if it's a 0.10/0.25 NL game the SB is 0.10, the BB is 0.25 and minimum bet on any street is 0.25.

You're thinking limit... in no limit, the minimum bet is always equal to the BB
