"Cap" Definition
|
1. In limit poker games, there is usually a maximum number of raises allowed in any round. Often, it's 4 bets per round of betting. When you hit the maximum, the betting is 'capped' and there can be no more raises.
2. In some no-limit and pot-limit games, there is a maximum amount any player can bet in one hand, or 'cap' on betting. For instance, in a $1-$2 no-limit Hold'em game, there could be a $40 cap on an single hand, meaning that the most any player can bet on any one hand is $40, no matter how much that player has in front of him.
Examples: I had a good hand. There was a bet and two raises before me, so I decided to re-re-raise and cap the betting for the round.
