No Limit Hold’em has taken over the Las Vegas Strip. Every poker room spreads it as the main game. There are still a few poker rooms in Las Vegas that offer fixed limit games. This may be Texas Hold’em, Omaha High/Low, Seven Card Stud or mixed games.
In our rules of poker lesson we explained how to play Texas hold’em but we didn’t mention the betting limits in our example hand, as it may have been a case of too much, too soon. In this poker lesson we’re going to use hold’em as the game format – but this time using the different betting variations; fixed-limit, pot-limit and no-limit.
Fixed limit games are more prevalent in the locals casino market although there are some on the Strip. This is a list of poker rooms where one will find fixed limit games on a regular basis.
