One important reason for the high number
of betting rounds in some games is to permit the gradual
increase in the amount of information you have about
your own hand and those of your opponents.
A betting round occurs with each change in the number
of cards that are available. Because of the betting,
the acquisition of additional information costs money,
and this fact forces players to confront the question
of whether they wish to pay the price.
The other major impact of multiple betting rounds is
the effect they have on the ultimate size of the pot.
Even in a limit game, a single enthusiastic bettor,
whose ability to build a pot in any single round is
strictly limited, can build a bigger pot if he has several
opportunities to initiate betting.
These changes motivate and lead to changed betting
scenarios. Players must re-think, round by round, the
inferences they can make based upon the information
available to them, as well as the resulting probabilities
of their hands becoming or remaining the winner. It
is here that experience and are both demanded and rewarded.
