Pot Limit Holdem
2021年4月27日Register here: http://gg.gg/ue22c
A new brand of poker has been rolled out by PokerStars that blends Texas Hold’em with Omaha, a hybrid that the game’s innovators call “Fusion.”
By all appearances, it looks like a fun new poker variant that may appeal to recreational players and regulars alike. Fusion made its debut on the cash game tables at PokerStars at a wide range of stake levels from $0.02/$0.05 on up.
*The “call and raise” dynamic may not be legal, but it is a great way to keep track of pot limit holdem betting. In the example hand, the pot contains $15, and it’s on you to either fold, call the $10 big blind, or raise it up.
*Pot odds are fixed; there is no actual calculation. However, ’implied odds’ should be added in for the most accurate picture. In the scenario above, although your pot odds are 5:1, if there are 2 other people in the hand ’behind’ you that haven’t acted yet, and they each have $1 in their hand, waiting for you to call so they can call (bad poker etiquette), your implied odds, for just this.
*Minimum raise In No-Limit Hold’em, the raise amount must be as much as the previous bet or raise at least in the same round. Maximum raise The maximum raise is the size of the chips on the table. Pot Limit Texas Hold’em. The minimum bet in Pot Limit Hold’em is equal to the size of the big blind. However, players can, at all times, bet up to the.Fusion Poker Explained
Here’s how the game is played: Fusion begins in typical Texas Hold’em format as players are dealt two hole cards and a pre-flop round of betting ensues. The flop hits the board and is followed by another round of betting.
At this time, Hold’em begins morphing into Omaha as all players still active in the hand receive a third hole card. With regard to betting, the game is played as Pot Limit, meaning that no bets can exceed the amount presently in the pot.
The turn card is added to the community cards and players bet at their discretion before a fourth hole card is dealt to each player remaining in the hand. The river card is placed on the board and players commence to bet for the final time.
The winner of the hand is determined by the player with the best five-card hand using two hole cards and three community cards – just like Omaha. So the game begins as Texas Hold’em, but eventually ends as Omaha.
The pot odds are now 1.8-to-1 (108 / 60) or 35.7% in percentage terms. Our drawing odds are 2.07-to-1 or 32.6%. Since the pot odds are less than the odds of hitting, in this instance we should fold. To call a bet here we’d need the pot to be a little bigger or our opponents bet to be a little lower. He has priced us out with his overbet.
Sounds interesting and fun, right? It certainly is different, adding elements to the game that have never before been tried or seen. Poker purists may not like it, but players who welcome new challenges may find it exciting and a nice break from the usual fare of games available.On the Cutting Edge of Creativity
Severin Rasset, Director of Poker Innovation and Operations at PokerStars, explained the reasoning behind the new poker variant:
Fusion mixes two well-loved formats together giving an exciting twist to the game. We want to give our players games that they have never played before and we eagerly await player feedback.
Fusion is just one of many new variations that PokerStars has released in recent times. “Showtime” and “Split Hold’em” also had test runs on the cash game tables earlier this year, as did “Unfold Hold’em,” a game that allowed players to get back into the hand after folding.
Fusion is likely the best of the bunch that will require a shift in strategy as the game transitions from Texas Hold’em to Omaha. On a personal note, I would love to see the game played as Hi/Lo, splitting the pot between the best high and low hands. There has been no announcement whether such an offering may be in the works.
In announcing the release of Fusion, PokerStars admitted that the new poker game isn’t intended to be a permanent fixture in the cash game lobby. So get on over to PokerStars and check it out. Who knows, it might just catch on and become popular!NL Hold’em Starting Hand Charts
One aspect of the game of No-Limit Hold’em that causes beginning players much grief is deciding which hands to play and which hands to dump. NL Hold’em is much more difficult than Limit Hold’em because the value of a hand depends on so many factors other than just the cards in your hand. Despite this difficulty, our coaches believe that following some general guidelines and adjusting from these is a better solution than having no guidelines at all. Given that well over half of your profitability in NL Hold’em is based on hand selection alone, we have developed these charts to help you better determine whether to play or fold.
There are no perfect No-Limit starting hand charts. That is because there are many factors that affect your decision, and charts cannot account for all of them. Some of these include:
*The size of your opponent’s stacks.
*How loose or tight, passive or aggressive, your opponents are.
*Where these opponents are located at the table – for example, does an aggressive player still have to act after you?
*Your image at the table – for example, how tight or tricky you are perceived.
That being said, these charts will serve you well in most typical low-stakes No-Limit cash games, such as games with blinds of $1/$2, and home games. These games typically have several loose players at the table, and good opportunities for winning big pots with suited connectors and pocket pairs. With practice, you will be able to be a consistently winning player with these charts as a starting point. As you improve, you’ll find yourself making adjustments to these charts based on the factors listed above, and more.
AGAIN: These charts are a good starting point for beginners. Specifically, Chart #1 recommends a significant amount of limping. This is great in loose, passive games but less often seen in tougher games. You’ll find other training material on Advanced Poker Training that may recommend a more aggressive approach for more experienced players.

Note: It would be a serious mistake to apply these hand charts before reading the Frequent Asked Questions first.
How To Play Pot Limit Hold’emCHART #1 ‐ LOOSE, PASSIVE GAME (OFTEN 4-5 LIMPERS PER HAND)
NO ONE HAS RAISED YET
* Raise Always
* Call from Early Position, otherwise raise
* Call always
* Call from Middle or Late Position if the conditions are right (see Frequently Asked Questions)
CHART #2 ‐ TIGHTER GAME (FEWER LIMPERS) OR MORE AGGRESSIVE GAME
NO ONE HAS RAISED YET
* Raise Always
* Call from Early Position, otherwise raise
* Call (or Raise) from Middle or Late Position if the conditions are right (see Frequently Asked Questions)
CHART #3 ‐ THERE HAS BEEN A SINGLE RAISE
(3‐5 TIMES THE BIG BLIND) BEFORE YOU
* Re‐Raise Always
* Call from Early Position, otherwise re‐raise
* Call always
* Call from Middle or Late Position if the conditions are right (see Frequently Asked Questions)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
For the hands in yellow, what do you mean when you say to play these hands if the conditions are right? The hands in yellow are speculative hands. They should always be folded from Early Position. From other positions, they can be profitable given the right conditions. Some of the questions to ask yourself:
*Are there other players who have called so far (the more, the better)?
*Are the players who have called playing poorly after the flop? Will they pay me off if I hit something?
*Is there an aggressive player still to act behind me (you might get raised and have to fold)?
*If there has been a raise and no other callers, what chance do I have of using my position after the flop to win the hand even if I don’t improve (Chart #3 only)?
Why does Chart #2 say to sometimes raise with the hands in yellow, but Chart #1 does not? We have different goals in mind. Using Chart #1, we want to call to encourage additional players to enter the pot. These hands will be immensely profitable when our loose, passive opponents enter the hand, and get trapped when we flop a set, or make a well-disguised straight. When using Chart #2, however, we want to size up the opponents still to act. If they are tight, we can raise. Sometimes, we’ll pick up the blinds. Other times, our pre-flop aggression will allow us to take down the pot on the flop.
What’s the difference between AKs and AKo? AKs means an Ace and King of the same suit. Popular word games win real money. AKo means an Ace and King of different suits.
What are early, middle, and late position? Early Position is generally the first 2 (in a nine player game) or 3 (in a ten player game) positions after the blinds. Late Position is the “cutoff” position (to the right of the dealer), and dealer button positions. Middle Position is everything in between.
How much should I raise? As a general rule, raise 3 to 4 times the big blind, plus 1 extra big blind for every player who has called before you. So if there are 2 callers already, raise between 5 and 6 times the big blind.
What if someone raises after I call? Whether you call the raise depends on how much money the raiser has for you to win, how many other players are involved, and what type of hand you have. As a general rule, if you have a pocket pair, lean towards calling. If there are a lot of other players (and therefore a big pot), lean towards calling. In general, fold suited connectors from early position. Fold hands like KQ that don’t play well against a raiser.
How do I play from the blinds? From the small blind, play the same hands you would play from late position, plus a few more. But don’t call with junk hands like T5o, just because it is “cheap”. From the big blind, if there is a raise to you, play like you would if you had already called from early position.
The chart says to fold KQo to a raise. Really? Yes, this hand performs very poorly against typical raising hands. Against AK, AQ, AA, KK, QQ, you are a big underdog. Other typical raising hands like JJ, TT, 99, AJs, are slightly ahead of you as well. The only time you might call or re-raise is from late position, if the opener was in middle or late position, indicating they might have a wider range of hands.
I was told to fold AJo from Early Position, why do you say to call with it? Folding AJo is not a bad idea in many games. We included it because, at low stakes tables (even tight or aggressive ones), the players are often playing badly enough after the flop that it can be profitable. We used data from millions of hands of low-limit poker to analyze this. The same could be said for KQo, ATs, and KJs – you can make a small profit in the long run at most low-stakes games, but folding would be perfectly acceptable from early position.
Can I use these charts in a NL Hold’em tournament? The charts would be best applicable to the early stages of a NL tournament, when everyone has a deep stack. In the middle and later stages, they should not be used.
