Spread-Limit
Spread-limit is a betting structure in which a player may bet any amount within a range, such as $2 to $6, on every round. It lies between fixed-limit and no-limit poker.
The simple explanation
In a $2-$6 spread-limit game, you can bet as little as $2 or as much as $6 at any time. Raises must usually be at least as large as the previous bet. It is common where the law restricts the stakes.
A closer look
Spread-limit games are played in some places because of local gambling laws. Because the sizes are flexible, there is some room for bet sizing, but not as much as in no-limit. Pot odds are generally generous, and drawing hands play well. The skills are between those of limit and no-limit poker: you must choose the bet size within the range.
A practical example
In a $1-$5 spread-limit game, a player bets $5 on the flop and another raises to $10.
