Default Re: Basic LHE question

Unless it is unlimited raising if heads up then 12x big bet is the most you can play in a hand in a bet 3 raise capped game. 4 raises then the most is 15x big bet. So as long as you have that in front of you you have the max for any hand.

I've played thousands of hands of Limit online (5/10 - 1/2) and never saw a hand get capped on every street. But I hear it does happen. As does the possibility of dozens of raises going in on the river in heads up play.

Online, since you can reload any time with no interuptions sit with whatever you want. Live, where reloading can cause delays, I'd recommend starting with at least 20x big bet. Personally I always start live with 25x big bet. If you like to splash around alot then maybe start with a little more.
