Quick Summary

In fixed-limit poker, there's a set maximum amount that players can bet or raise during each betting interval. This limit is typically doubled after the draw in draw poker, and in the final betting interval of stud poker. These limits help structure the game, preventing unlimited betting. The primary goal in poker is to win the pot, which is the sum of all bets made in a single deal, either by having the best hand or by making a bet that no opponent calls.1
