Re: Pot-Limit Question
pudley is right. If you always raise the max the heads-up opponent is always getting 2:1 to call. You put in $7 representing a $2 call and a $5 raise, and the blind is looking at a $10 pot and has to call $5.
But you don't have to do it that way at home if you don't want. Even a $1/$2 blind game can get VERY big VERY quickly. Lets say its raised heads-up PreFlop, bet PostFlop and raised on the turn... PreFlop pot is $15. PostFlop pot is $45. Turn bet is $45, turn raise and call is $90, turn pot size is $270 going into the river...
Nice small game.
The Brits, I understand, play a "half-pot limit" game, effectively giving the calling 3:1 to call and keeping the pots much smaller.
