Full Bet ( poker )
1) In a limit game, a bet as large as the current limit. For example, in a
$10-$20 game, in the
$10 round or rounds, $10 is a full bet, and anything less is not. Card rooms
have different interpretations
as to whether anything less than a full bet can be raised or whether a player
is even permitted to bet less,
and if an all-in player bets less, whether succeeding players can call that
amount or must themselves put in a full bet.
2) In a no-limit, pot-limit, or spread-limit game, a bet as large as the minimum
for the table, with similar
discussion as the preceding.
3) In a no-limit, pot-limit, or spread-limit game, a bet as large as the preceding
bet.
For example, if Emilie bets $50 and John can call only $30 of that, he would
be
said not to have a full bet. In this sense, the term short is often used.
