Best Betting Structure - Which Is The Best For You?

The answer to which is the Best Betting Structure for you depends completely on your style of play.

If you play aggressively and bluffing is a large part of your game then No Limit Poker will offer you the potential to win big money. Winning regularly in No Limit Poker depends a lot upon your ability to read your opponents, can you identify when they're bluffing or when they're slow playing a big hand? No Limit Poker is the most common type of online poker played today and you'll find that these are the largest percentage of tables at nearly all online poker rooms. Many Multi Table Tournaments are No Limit Poker tournaments as well, so I'd advise you to get some practice with this betting structure as it plays such a large part in online poker today.

Fixed Limit Poker is probably the best type of poker if you are new to the game or if you like the more controlled play that you get at Fixed Limit Poker tables. Fixed Limit Poker is good for cash games with less pressure being put on the bankroll because you can't lose it all on one mistake with one hand. Fixed Limit Poker is less about knowing how your opponent is playing and more about working out the pot odds versus the card odds to decide if your hand is worth playing.

Pot Limit Poker is somewhere in the middle of No Limit Poker and Fixed Limit Poker. You need the control of Fixed Limit Poker play at the start of the hand and the aggression and bravery of No Limit Poker in the final stages of the hand. Pot Limit Poker can be a very challenging and very exciting game combining both styles of poker play.
