Simple limits question

[nihil]

If a place says they have $2 to $10 limits (and $3 to $15), what exactly does that imply? I only understand what $1/$2 $2/$4 implies.

Thanks

Its probably a spread limit game where you can bet out anything between those parameters and can also raise anything between the numbers as long as it is at least double.

So in a 2-10 you can open for 2, 5, 6, 10 whatever. Say you lead for $5, the next guy can now raise you up to $15 to go or just double you and make it $10 to go as I understand it. I've never played it but I think that's the deal.

1/2 implies that the big blind or starting bet is 1 dollar, in the last 2 rounds of betting the starting bet is 2 dollars. Unless youre talking about a spread limit game, which are common in california card rooms since no limit games are illegal.

I could swear that no limit games occur at commerce all the time

Not at Indian casinos.

when i asked the tournament director why they dont just do a no limit tournament instead of a spread limit tournament where the spread limit is higher than anyone could possibly have he told me it was illegal in california for cardrooms to have no limit games. i assumed he wasnt wrong.

well he was obviously an idiot.

now, i have never been to commerce or any of the non indian casinos but based on the posts here, they have no limit games. also on commerce's own website, http://www.commercecasino.com/index.htm, it cleary states that they have no limit games. im sure most of the other big LA casinos have nl games also.

however, i have been to the indian casinos and they definitly do have no limit games. both morongo and vejas have no limit games. im sure others do aswell.

Everybody seems to assume that you're talking about one single game but I think that the place you are talking about might be offering games from $1/2 up to $5/10 or something like that and that's what they mean by this.

Oh, after reading your post again I think I'm wrong. Sorry. So, yes, they're probably talking about spread limits.
