For example, in a $2/$4 Texas Holdem game, the big bet would be $4, wagered in each bet of the last two cards. The $2 would be the small bet, wagered during all other bets of the game.
A player winning one or two big bets per hour or two to three big bets per hundred hands is considered to have a good win-rate.
In Las Vegas, the smallest limit game available is the .01/.02 game. The largest is the $4k/$8k game offered as required by Bellagio in Las Vegas. The Bellagio $4k/$8k game is frequented by notable poker players like Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Chau Giang, and Gus Hansen, as well as the occasional rich tourist.
