Cash game rules

[ashmc2]

I'm not sure if this is thr right place to post.

Home game question: how many times can you reraise?

We have always played that as long as you have money that you reraise the other guy; the amount of times didn’t matter.

We had a new kid at the game. He said that I it bet and the other guy in the hand raised me, I only had the ability to call on that round of betting. Is this true?

Is there a similar rule that he could be confused about?

This is a cash game. But if it is true for a tourney, like would be interested in that also.

Also if their is a simular rule for tourney play I would also be interested in that answer.

Thanks

Since its a home game, you can make any rules you want. Try googling Robert's Rules of Poker, though I'm sure there are other "guidelines" that you can follow.

Normal rules are that in a NL game, you can bet until you are all in.

In a Limit game, there are usually 4 rounds of betting per street. However, when you are heads up in a Limit game, sometimes the rules allow unlimited reraising.

What pantsonfire says is typically correct although in limit it is sometimes 4 raises, making it 5 rounds of betting, per street. My home game rules are 4 bets total, so 3 raises. I use this rule for my NL tournaments too but I can't recall ever seeing the raising be capped. Usually somebody is all in by the second or third raise.

But as the other poster said it's your home game so you can make your own rules. It's good to advise new guys about differences in your home game from the normal / accepted rules also.

My casino allows 5 bets in a multiway pot and unlimited when a street begins HU.

In a limit cash game, most cardrooms allow raising to continue back and forth between players who start a round headsup.

However, in a tourney, a 4-bet cap (sometimes 5) is enforced even headsup, since every player at the table has an interest in who has the chips at the end of the hand (also to prevent chipdumping-- friends go 12 bets, one folds for 13th bet, giving his pal nearly all his chips in a tourney).

normal no limit cash games have no cap on the number of raises per round.

there is a rule that might be confusing you or the other guy though, and that is when someone in the pot "raises" by going all in, but does not raise enough to qualify as a minimum raise (lets say player A bets 40 bucks, and player B calls the 40, then player C goes all in for 70 bucks - an additional 30) no more reraising is allowed by players A or B, because their bets were not fully raised by player C since the minimum raise would be 40 bucks, however players that act after player C can reraise the 70 dollar all in, and if that happens, then players A and B can put in another reraise (as long as player C's reraise was not another all in for less than a min raise).
