If a game is say $10/$20 limit Hold em and the blinds are finished, the first bet would have to match the big blind of $20 and any raises would have to be in increments of $20? So raises would have to be $40, $60 and $80?. Is this correct? Thanks.

In $10/$20 limit the blinds are $5 and $10, bets preflop and flop are in increments of $10, and bets on the turn and river are in increments of $20.
In a no-limit game, say $10/$20 no-limit, the 10/20 does designate the blinds, and of course there's no limit on the betting at any time.
Good luck, have fun.

In a limit game, the name $10/$20 refers to $10 bets/raises pre- and post-flop, $20 after the turn and river. So the blinds in this game are $5 and $10. Preflop, after the blinds are posted, everyone has to call the $10 big blind or raise in $10 increments.
In a no-limit game, the name of the game ($1/$2, e.g.) DOES refer to the amount of the small and big blinds.
EDIT: D'oh! Iron Butt beat me to it.

Does this rule apply to no limit as well. In other words, these amounts are the minimum required?

I mis-understood the question. Read the next two posts.

For no limit, using the blinds you mentioned... The minimum bet preflop or on the flop is $10 and can go up to any amount. It does not have to be in increments of 10. I believe any raise on that original bet must be at least $10 greater than the original but it can also be much more. (Someone who is an expert please correct me if I am wrong.)
On the turn and the river, the bet and raise must be at least $20 but can also be any amount greater than that.
Hope I explained that correctly.

As I understand it the min bet in a NL game is the big blind, the minimum raise is the amount of big blind, the minimum reraise is the size of the raise before you.
So for instance big blind is 10, min raise is 10 to 20, min reraise is 10 to 30. But if it's a 30 raise, 40 to you, then your minimum reraise is 30 or a total bet of 70.
Unless you're going all-in or there's an all-in involved. You can go all in for any amount any time regardless of whether it's a full bet or raise. I believe you can also call an all-in that is less than a full bet, but if you want to raise, the minimum raise is whatever the full minimum bet amount would be.
Gets a little complicated don't it? This stuff is brutal to try to enforce at a home game... "Whaddya mean I can't reraise 5????"
