I think there usually is in a Fixed Limit games (known as the cap).
Not in No Limit though.
NB: A player can raise more than once per round if someone else has raised them back. Your post implies you might not have been aware of this.

Also, most fixed limit games do not have a cap if you are heads up.

No limit, between two people, is usually capped at 4 raises, i think.

I'm pretty sure no limit means, no limit. As in, unlimited. The only rules as far as amounts are that you must bet a minimum equal too or more than the previous bet/raise.

We have a house rule that says after 4 re-raises from each person the dealer has to shout “Stop f**king min-raising and push you’ve both obviously got something!”.
JK. I’m ticked off at the moment because I’ve been trying to get access to a server since 9:30 this morning and I still can’t

Think about this.
Lets say we're playing on a 1000nl table and players A and C were colluding.
Innocent old B is sitting at the table with a full stack, as are our two villians.
Now lets say there's a juicy river in a 200 buck pot. Our fine friends decide to act drunk and go into a minraise war, with our innocent chump in between. Ofcourse he's never going to fold to a simple 10 dollar raise, so he calls, only to find himself stuck in between. 3 hours later, after the rest of the table has long fallen asleep, our innocent B is 800 poorer, after C shows his nuts and A mucks with a gentle rap of the table, tossing his cards in the middle of the muck.
Woo! Poker is so exciting.

Woops. I meant more than 2 people I think. I've definitely heard of this rule but I don't quite remember the wording.

In limit, I have always heard that heads up there is no cap. More than 2 players has a 4 raise limit.
In no-limit I have never heard of any limits on the number of raises.

In multi-way pots, you're absolutely right. The situation probably comes up a lot less in NL than FL, but the purpose of the rule is the same.

I believe the limit terms may vary, even heads-up.
Here in Colorado we only have limited-stakes gambling, and I'm pretty sure that even heads-up it's capped at four.
But I think that's also the exception to the rule. "Normal" places let you go at it heads-up until one guy figures out the wrong end of the full house is no good.
I believe the ruling is something about limiting the amount of money you can lose in one hand. I once played in a tournament up there where (no kidding) the first two hands were limit, then it switched to no-limit for exactly that reason--whatever the buy-in was, they had to spread your loss across at least three hands.

Player A bets 10, player B calls, player C raises 10. Now either player A calls, letting B call or player A makes it 20 to go, causing B to have to call 20. Now, if I'm player B, I'm going to start thinking something fishy is going on and I'm either going to have the nuts and shove, or I'm gonna toss it in.
Am I missing something here or isn't that what most people would do? :p
