Default Spread limits for Hold\'em

I've played mostly online so I'm not familiar with spread limits for Texas Hold'em So how would a 1-3 spread limit work for each of the betting rounds for Texas Hold'em at a casino?

Also, one of the Indian Casino has some 3/6/12 tables (not spread limit). How do they work?

Thanks for any replies.

I dable at the Indian Casino occasionally (not a fan of limit however) - they also offer 3/6/12 tables.

On the '3' table, the SB posts $1, the BB posts $3. Preflop betting/raising is limited to $3 increments. Ditto for the flop. The turn and river can be bet/raised in $6 increments.

Same is true for the others, just double/triple the amounts based on the stated table.

Both the turn and the river can be bet at 6 or 12 or is it the turn can be bet at just 6 and the river bet at 6 and/or 12? That's what I'm confused about on the question about the 3/6/12 game.

my experience has been that BOTH the turn and river are limited to $6 increments. of course, with 3 raises these pots can still get quite large.

they call this table the 3/6, thus describing the only too bets.
they also offer a 6/12 and so on.

Everywhere I'm aware of, the $1-3 applies to each betting round. You can bet $1, $2, or $3, and raise those same amounts, except that you can't raise less than the bet or raise to you. At Excalibur I played this with a single $1 blind, and it was a gas -- everyone fishing in with everything, all about implied odds.

On the East Coast, I think Turning Stone spreads 1-3, and I'm told Mohegan used to.
