Spread-limit hold 'em. Spread-limit hold 'em is a form of hold 'em that dictates that all bets and raises are done in increments between the spread of two amounts (hence the name). It blends some of the predictability of Fixed-limit hold 'em with some of the pot-controlling power of No-limit hold 'em.
The Spread. The spread is the difference between the bid and asking prices for a particular security. The size of the spread and price of the stock are determined by supply and demand. The more individual investors or companies that want to buy, the more bids there will be; more sellers results in more offers or asks.
