Italian poker players have a choice of playing limit or no-limit Texas Hold'Em when they sit down at a poker table, whether it is in a casino or in online poker. There is no real difference in the way the game is played because the difference lies in the size of the pot. Limit poker is really challenging intellectually. A spread limit is usually implemented and each round of betting on the flop, turn or river will have both a minimum and maximum limit in place for how much you are allowed to bet.

 

If you like to bluff, then you won't do well in limit Texas Hold'Em. Bluffing is rarely used in this poker game. Most of the hands are played directly, which is why it is so important to always make the right decisions. In contrast to limit Texas Hold'Em, one of the strategies Italian and other poker players use in no-limit games is the that of applying pressure at strategic points in the game to win a large pot.

 

With the small limits used in limit Texas Hold'Em, you won't win a lot of money. The advantage to playing this type of poker is that you can play for a longer period of time before you lose all your chips and get put out of the game. You really won't learn any of the essential poker skills by continually playing limit Texas Hold'Em. There is very little aggression in the game and with the low pots, there is also little opportunity to learn to read the players and predict whether or not they think they have a winning hand. Limit poker is more scientific and mathematical in nature, where as learning to become a good no-limit player is an art form in itself.

 

That is not to say that you don't need to have knowledge of the rules of Texas Hold'Em in order to play limit games. You still need to have the basic knowledge of how to play the game. Beginners usually start off playing for real money with limit games so that they won't lose a lot of money until they become comfortable with their game play. The potential for loss is much less in limit poker than it is in no-limit poker.

 

Once you do have a good grasp of the game, then you can move on to no-limit poker. You can beat any opponent in either forms of the game as long as you employ good poker strategies and gain an understanding of how the other players play the game. Being able to read the other players is perhaps the most important poker strategy that you can have in your repertoire. Once you have this understanding, you will also have the ability to change your game play during the game to meet the changes of your opponents so that you take advantage of their weaknesses. You also have to be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses and know the right time to make a move or when you should fold your hand.
