Definition of Unlimited Holdem

What does the term "Unlimited Hold'em" mean in the world of poker? What is the meaning of the term "Unlimited Hold'em"?

"Unlimited Hold'em" is often confused for "No Limit Hold'em", which is a variant of the poker game Hold'em which allows for unlimited bet sizes. This differs from Fixed Hold'em or Pot Limit Hold'em, where there are limits on the size of the bets that you can place.

In "No Limit Hold'em" (or Unlimited Hold'em, as some people call it), you can bet as much of your "stack" (chips) as you want on any of the "streets" (opportunities to bet).

For instance, in No Limit Hold'em, you can bet as much as your stack as you want pre-flop, after the flop, after the turn or after the river.

This allows you to really put pressure on your opponents, as you can put them into uncomfortable situations if they are risking their entire stacks if they get the decision wrong.

"Unlimited Hold'em" is, by far, the most popular variant of poker. It is the style of poker that is played in the World Series of Poker main event and many other important poker tournaments.

Many people might not know what you are talking about if you use the term "Unlimited Hold'em", so you might want to choose the term "No Limit Hold'em" instead.
