Pot Limit and No Limit games
PokerStars also offers pot-limit and no-limit games ranging from $0.01/$0.02 to $10.00/$20.00.
In no-limit poker, you can bet any amount at any time. Your bet size is limited only by the amount of money you have brought to the table. However, all bets must be at least the size of the big blind, and all raises must be at least the size of previous raises on the same round.
In pot-limit poker, players are allowed to bet any amount up to the size of the pot, also subject to the above rule.
At big-bet poker (pot-limit or no-limit play), a return to the game at the same table after an absence of less than 30 minutes is still considered part of the same playing session. In that case, a player must buy-in for at least the amount with which he or she cashed out, or up to 10% less, if that's all the player has left in his or her account.
