No Limit games differ as limit games have a limit on what you can bet. No Limit means simply that once the blinds have been met, any player can wager all his/her chips at any time in the game. In this game there is still an ante increase as normal for competitions but the rules of the game are such that you can bet all your chips on any one hand.

The only rules in this game are: If you are going to raise a pot there is a minimum raise. For instance, if the player before you bets $20 then the minimum raise would be $40. However being no limit you can opt to put all your chips in the pot (this could be $10,000 - there is no limit).

When playing you can only bring chips to the table when the hand is finished, not during play.
