I have never seen a limit to the number of raises permissible in a PL/NL game. Some room somewhere having an excessively retarded rule like this would not surprise me though.

It's a stupid rule, but I have seen it in 2 Vegas casinos lately. Both Cannery and Rampart use this insane 3 raise cap in NL games. Great for colluders IMO. And I found out that both rooms are being run by the same manager splitting the time between both.

Bay 101 in San Jose has a cap in their spread limt games. Might be forced by the city and not by their choosing.

I haven't played there in a couple years, but Prairie Band in Topeka enforced the 4 bets rules in NL. Came up in a hand once in NL2/5 when someone bet 5, raised to 10, raised to 15, and the guy to my right said "I'm capping it" and put in 20, I call because I know I can't get raised, and sure enough the original better tries to raise. Nope... not allowed, said the floor. We had an entertaining discussion of the stategy involved in this. I LOVED that the rule was enforced in that case because I never coulda come in with the crappy draw I had knowing that one of those first 3 players was fully intending to slam a stack in if he got the chance. It absolutely changes the play in such circumstances.

Honestly this is just uninformed and inexperienced poker room managers. I've heard people claim this before but later take it back once they talk to someone in the know.

I believe there is an exception to this in AC. Hopefully some AC people will chime in, but I am pretty sure by law NL is played by limit rules (# of raises etc).

That is not how it plays at either Taj or Borgata (the only places I have played big bet in AC). And I can recall multiple specific pots where there were a large number of small raises in a 3 or 4 handed street.

There should be a cap in a spread limit game. Or is this one of those bogus spread limits that is supposed to simulate No Limit?

There's a casino here that has a 3 raise cap and when I protested everyone looked at me like I had 2 heads.

Re: Raise cap in NL?
 

Yads, is that one of the ABS casinos? You may want to have them call the River Cree and get them to explain why they dropped the cap a few months ago.

For the first year they were open, River Cree had a 3 raise cap, claiming it was an AGLC regulation, but apparently enough people said WTF?, the manager finally asked AGLC directly, and it became uncapped a few months ago.

Yep it's Casino Calgary, that place is run by idiots.
