Introduction**

In the world of poker, there are various types of games that can be played. This article will focus on the different limits in poker, including no-limit, limit, pot limit, and spread limit. We will also discuss cash games and tournaments, as well as some unique features that players love about automated poker tables.

No-Limit, Limit, Pot Limit, Spread Limit

In poker, a "limit" refers to the maximum amount of chips or money that can be bet during a hand. There are four main types of limits:

• No-limit: In this type of game, there is no limit on the amount of chips that can be bet during a hand.
• Limit: In this type of game, the maximum bet is equal to the size of the pot.
• Pot limit: In this type of game, the maximum bet is equal to the current size of the pot.
• Spread limit: In this type of game, the maximum bet is spread across multiple levels, such as 1-5 chips or 2-10 chips.

Cash Games

Cash games are poker games that are played for cash only. These games do not have a specific tournament structure and players can enter and exit at any time. Cash games are popular among poker enthusiasts who enjoy the flexibility and excitement of playing with friends.

Single and Multi-table Tournaments

Tournaments are poker games that follow a structured format, such as blinds increasing every 15 minutes or when a player loses all their chips. Tournaments can be played on a single table or multiple tables simultaneously. Multi-table tournaments offer more excitement and variety for players.
