The amount a player can bet is fixed for each round of betting. For example, in a $10/$20 game, $10 may be bet before and on the flop. $20 can be bet on the turn and river cards.
For Limit games we use the standard bet and three raises model. That is, for any betting round, there can be an opening bet and no more than three raises. After the third raise, betting is said to be capped. We permit check and raise betting. This means player A, is permitted to check or call a prior bet when it is his/her turn. If a subsequent player raises and the betting has not been capped, player A is permitted to raise when the betting returns to him/her.
If you are familiar with the rules for Limit Poker, you will not need to learn too much more to understand the rules for Pot Limit and No Limit Poker.
