Just a Little History
No-limit poker is a relatively new game in the US (last 10 years, or so), where limit poker was the norm. In no-limit poker, a player can make a very high bet to protect his hand and force an opponent to pay a steep price to stay in the game. Also, if you think have the best hand (you can’t always be sure), no-limit betting will cause unsure opponents to fold, leaving you the big winner. And it’s an exciting game, especially when a player calls “all-in” which can make for a huge pot with a big win, or a big loss if you intuition is faulty.
