Details
- One buy-in in Pot-Limit is equal to 100 big blinds.
Example: should you win €5 on a €0.05/€0.10 table, you will add +0.5 buy-ins to your rankings, which equates to 50 points. Careful though, if you lose €5 on that same table, then you will lose 50 points. - Limit games are played in bets (small bet: preflop and flop / big bet: turn and river). One buy-in is equal to 20 “big bets” in Limit games.
Example: should you win €1 on a €0.05/€0.10 Limit table, you will add +0.5 buy-ins to your rankings, which equates to 50 points. Careful though, if you lose €1 on that same table, then you will lose 50 points. - All collusion between players who try any form of “chip-dumping” to cheat is strictly forbidden and will be sanctioned. What’s more, any players caught doing this will be automatically removed from the rankings.
