This version introduces the popular pot-limit betting structure A game played with a pot-limit allows any player to raise up to an amount equal to the size of the whole pot before the raise. Say there is $10 in the pot, and your opponent bets $10, you can then call the bet ($10) and raise $30.

This version let's you use any Windows BMP file (files with a .bmp extension) as a background image.
