In January, 2009 the World Series of Poker Cash Academy held a 2-day workshop/seminar focused on improving poker players’ results in no-limit Texas Hold’em cash games in Atlantic City. The course was led by three super poker pros: Paul Wasicka, Mark Seif, and Alex Outhred. When Benny and Jack Binion created the World Series of Poker in the early 1970's, they featured no-limit Texas Hold'em as the main event of the tournament. The basic rules for Texas Hold'em are that two to 10 players are dealt two hole cards. They place bets in sequence around the table or choose to fold their hands.

What Does No Limit Mean?
Limit refers to how much a player can bet on any single bet. No limit means that at any point in the game a player can bet as much as all of the chips they have on the table, which is known as going all-in. The other players must match the amount to call the bet, or can go all-in themselves for less. If the player loses the hand, they are out of the game unless there is a rebuy allowed.
Besides going all-in, a player can bet more than the minimum required bet or raise more than the minimum required the amount of a raise, anywhere up to the amount of chips they have on the table. In most games, a raise must be by at least as much as the blind for a first raise. For a re-raise, it must be at least as much as the previous raise.
This is in contrast with limit games where the amount allowed for each bet is set and the players cannot bet more than that amount. For example, for the first and second bet of a hand, the amount might be set at $2, with the amount for the third and fourth bet set at $4. In pot limit games, the maximum raise is the current size of the pot.
No Limit Texas Hold'em is the usual format for poker tournaments such as the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Many people have become familiar with watching it played in televised tournaments. It is a common format for playing poker online. Non-tournament limit games are common in casinos and card rooms. They may be listed with the word limit and amount of the limit (such as $2/$4).
