Most Online Hold'em Poker games have a fixed limit that is fairly low. However, it can be quite a stiff game. For example, a game in which you can bet $2 on openers and $4 after the draw (or in a Stud game, $2 on high card, $4 on an open pair, and $6 on the last betting interval) is a stiff game, but it is still a relatively low-limit game. In such a game, you can often stay in for $2 when there is already $40 or more in the pot. You are being offered fine odds and your risk is minimal.
