Hey guys, I just wanted to go into the habit
of playing No Limit Hold 'Em, just the base
rules of the game.
Here we got our players and we got our blinds
posted 5 and 10.
I've got the 2 cards face down, now in another
video we talked about about limit hold 'em
and like the betting restrictions there.
In no limit there are no restrictions, which
can be good or a bad thing depending on how
you play.
So, here let's say he decides he wants to
call.
Here, with his bet just decides that he wants
to call as well.
Now, he's got the option he could either check
or he can raise.
He decides to raise, now with limit hold em
he would have to raise $10, but here he can
raise as much as he wants.
And say, in this case here he wants to raise
$25.
Alright, so now players here would have to
bet 25 if they wanted to stay in the hand.
So here, say he wants to call, and then he
wants to fold.
Alright so this goes in the pot, this goes
in his well.
Alright, now we have a flop.
Okay.
Now here in no limit, you don't have to bet
10 if you don't to.
If you want bet more than that, your more
than welcome to.
Another thing, a lot of players have heard
the terminology 'all in.'
What that means, is that he basically pushes
it all in, and now he's betting all of his
chips.
All players here started with the same amount,
that's just for the sake of making things
simple here.
So let's see, he decides to call alright?
So now everything matches up, alright.
And in a hold em game, also in a cash game
you don't have to show your cards right away
but in poker tournaments, if you ever see
some tournaments that they'll show on TV,
they'll actually have them turn the cards
up.
Alright, here.
We actually have an interesting situation
where there's a king, jack, and a 10 but then
both both players have a queen.
Nobody else has like a higher card, so in
this case here the best 5 card hand for both
of them is king, queen, jack, 10 and 7.
So in this case here, this is called a split
pot.
What happens here is that both players split
the pot.
Cards get swept up and we go to the next hand.
And that's No Limit Hold 'Em.
