- The same two hole cards and five-card board as NLHE, with Fixed limit betting.
- Bets and raises go up in fixed steps, and each round caps at 4 bets.
Base: NLHE
Differences from NLHE:
- Bets and raises move one unit at a time. At 10/20, preflop and flop are 10, turn and river are 20
- Blinds are SB 5 and BB 10 (the SB is half the small bet, the BB equals the small bet)
- Each round caps at 4 bets (counting is in Three kinds of betting). Preflop the BB 10 counts as the first, then 20, 30, 40
- You cannot bet big to push people out. With 3 or more players in, the most one player can put in a hand is 40 + 40 + 80 + 80 = 240
Dealing, hand rankings and showdown are the same as NLHE.
Example. At 10/20, UTG raises to 20, BTN 3-bets to 30, UTG calls. SB and BB fold.
| Street | Action | Each of the 2 players puts in |
|---|---|---|
| Preflop | UTG raises to 20, BTN 3-bets to 30, UTG calls | 30 each |
| Flop | UTG checks, BTN bets 10, call | 10 each |
| Turn | BTN bets 20, call | 20 each |
| River | BTN bets 20, call | 20 each |
The two put in 30 + 10 + 20 + 20 = 80 each, and with the blinds’ 15 the pot is 175.
