Book excerpt: Limit hold em, while currently not as popular as no-limit hold em, is an extremely interesting game from a theoretical standpoint: The rules are complex enough to allow constant intrigue, yet simple enough to allow computer bots to play the game on an extremely high level. These are important advantages over the two other most commonly played flop games: no-limit hold em and pot-limit Omaha.
