Do you know about Bet the Pot?


One of the most important but also hardest aspects to get right when learning the game of poker is how much to bet the pot at any given time.


When you play online, you are given a choice depending on how many chips are already in the pot, whilst you don’t have to bet these amounts when playing no-limit Texas Hold’em, many players think betting an amount compared to the current pot is a good way of deciding.
Later in the hand, such as after the turn or river, when you know more about how good your hand is likely to be, betting the pot will result in more chips than at the earlier stage, such as pre-flop or after the flop.
When working out how much to bet if you wish to bet the pot, you need to factor in how much you would need to call a bet that it already raised.

The correct amount would be any chips in the pot from all previous betting rounds, any chips that have already been added to the pot in the current betting round and the minimum you would need to call in order to stay in the hand.
These amounts, when added together, would equal the pot as it stands, therefore if you were to ‘bet the pot’ this would be the amount you need to bet.

An example to make it easier to understand is below:
There are 1,000 Rupees in the pot and the player before you bet 200 Rupees.
If you were to bet the pot, you would bet the 1,000 Rupees from the previous betting round, 200 Rupees that the player before you have bet and 200 Rupees that you would need to bet in order to remain in the hand.
Therefore, in the above situation, you would bet 1,400 Rupees in order to ‘bet the pot’.

Remember, when playing online poker, the site will work out the amount for you and you will normally have the option of betting half the pot if you wish, so there is no need to be a mathematician when it comes to working it out!
