Spread Limit Betting

A poker tournament with Spread Limit betting enables a player to bet or raise any sum within a certain range.

For instance, in “one to six limit” Spread Limit betting, you can bet either $1, $2, $3, $4, $5 or $6. In later rounds, these limits are usually higher. A game could be “one to six, ten on the end”, in which case the early rounds enable $1-$6 bets, while the final round enables $1-$10 bet.

Spread Limit betting raises need to be at least the amount of the last bet. For instance, if a player's first bet is $4, you may raise to get the total bet from $8-$10.
