Questions & AnswersOften the game of guts is played a rule which is called match limit. It's a limit on how much I have to pay to put in the pot if I lose, let's call it a dollar. So the reason for it as it follows, say that we play a hand and everybody stays in and this guy with a pair of kings takes down the pot, there were four in the pot. The other three players at the table stayed in so they have to put four in and now the new pot becomes twelve. Then what if it's a really loose table and everybody stays in and now it's twelve right, let's say that these blue chips are worth ten chips. Everybody who lost has to put in twelve now we have thirty six, the next hand all the losers have to put in thirty six. Then on the next hand what's thirty six times three, that is over a hundred let's say these are pennies than dollars. You can see how this grows and grows and grows. The next time it will be thirty six times three, that's hundred eight chips. If all four players stay in the next hand, then they are each are going to have to pay hundred eight, hundred eight times four, so you need to set a limit because at some point if you are playing a pretty decent stake game someone might loose hundred dollars or thousand on hand.
