Reading the Betting Chart
To determine how much you should raise when you have an average (or above) number of chips poker game simply note what round you are in, the size of the blinds, and the amount of a normal raise. Using these numbers, you will have a very good idea of how much to bet. If antes are required, refer to the glossary "With Antes" chart. If they aren't, use the "No Antes" chart. If your chip count has fallen into the "Trouble Stack" category or has dropped into the "Move-In" zone, use those numbers to determine how much you should bet holdem poker.
The "ante" column in this chart is typical of the ante structure used by most online casinos. In on-land casinos, the ante structure tournaments is usually higher. When you want to make a normal raise after the antes have come into play, it is acceptable to raise up to five times the size of the bigs blind if you are the first player poker in the pot.
