Spread-limit hold 'em. Spread-limit hold 'em is a form of hold 'em that dictates that all bets and raises are done in increments between the spread of two amounts (hence the name). It blends some of the predictability of Fixed-limit hold 'em with some of the pot-controlling power of No-limit hold 'em.
There is always a set minimum players have to buy in for, and often a set maximum. As with any rule you're unclear on, you can always ask the dealer for the buy-in limits. In fixed-limit poker, the minimum buy-in amount is typically 10 times the higher betting limit. In a $5/$10 Limit game, the minimum buy-in would be for $100. There is no maximum amount players can buy in for in a Limit game. In No-Limit poker, guidelines around buy-in amounts vary more from one game to the next. The general minimum buy-in in a No-Limit game is 20 times the big blind. In a $5/$10 No-Limit game, the minimum buy-in would be for $200.
