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.
Variations/Extensions. 1  Try to turn the spread cards that give the minimum difference, so the winner is the player with the fewest counters. 2  Roll a die instead of using pile cards. 3  Use dot cards with random arrangements of dots.
