Pot-limit bet geometry

Pot-limit bet sizing tool for stack-pressure plans.

Enter the pot, live bet, callers, and effective stack to see how pot-limit rules cap the next wager, how fast the pot can grow, and which strategic branch creates clean later-street leverage. Compare the same node through NL Hold'em and Pot Limit lenses to see how future SPR changes with the raise size.

Interactive tool

Set the pot-limit spot

Board texture and street plan presets rewrite the recommended pressure line, not just the headline bet size.

Adjust the spot or load a preset to recalculate the pot-limit line.

Pot-limit output

Current legal line

Starting SPR 3.8 Medium SPR: two bets can threaten stacks.
Legal max now $22 Pot-sized raise available from the current action.
Recommended first bet $16.5 Balances cap pressure with later-street SPR.
River setup SPR 0.6 River pot bet pressure is realistic.
Pot after bet $0 Immediate pot growth after the chosen line.
Pot after call $0 The pot you will actually play the next street on.
Stack left $0 Remaining stack after the chosen bet size.
Next SPR 0.0 Pot growth versus the stack left behind.
Pot-control line Keep the pot manageable

Smaller bets preserve stack depth for later streets when range equity is thinner.

Pot after call: $0.0 | Next SPR: 0.0

Max-pressure line Push the legal cap

Max or near-max sizing forces a cleaner river decision when value density is high.

Pot after call: $0.0 | Next SPR: 0.0

Compare the active street plan with the surrounding branches before you spend chips. The goal is not just the flop bet, but the turn and river shape that follows.

Pot-limit pressure is strongest when the flop size sets up a deliberate river SPR instead of merely chasing the current cap.

Coaching notes

Use the cap before choosing pressure.

Pot-limit betting rewards plans that know the legal maximum, the likely caller count, and the SPR left after the next call.
