Once you understand Limit poker games, then Pot Limit is easy to learn. The method of play is the same as Limit Poker, until you come to the raises.
The minimum raise is either the size of the previous bet or the previous raise, for example if the previous player bets $10, then the raise must be a minimum of $10.
