Raising in Limit Holdem

Hello,

I would like to ask if how many times you can actually make a raise in limit holdem. For an instance, the game is a $4/$8 game and I bet $8 after the turn and consequently, the next guy raises and everyone else folds. Can I certainly re-raise? If I can, how many times perhaps?

Similarly, can everyone else raise so I could raise $8 and the next guy for $8 too, and so on and so forth?

Thanks!
Allie

Allie,

In limit holdem, there is typically a 3 raise limit. If you bet out $8, the pot can be raised three times. Your opponents raise is the first one, you can then raise again for the second raise. You opponent would then have the option to cap the bet.

The same applies regardless of how many players are in the pot. If you raised someone’s $8 bet, then only two more raises can occur.
