Because it puts the most strength on something I'm very good at, driving value. When you do bluff/semi-bluff there is no need to even bet as much as half the pot, so you're getting incredible pot odds. | |

The river givth and the river taketh away. The better you are, the more it taketh away. That's true for NLHE, PLHE, LHE and 7CS. | |

For me, I think my "limit dalliance" is more about trying to find out the differences between the 2 types of hold 'em (NL vs. Limit). Along the way I am picking up skills which I was unaware were necessary in deciphering between the 2 different types. | |

That's why you need good hand reading skills, backing two losers over 100 hands and there goes all your profit, at the same time as you say folding a winner is the same mistake. | |

Fnord I think your missing my point, I'm talking about not calling down big hands, when you know you are beat and yes with the right reads I often will call someone down with A high if i suspect they are bluffing. | |

This is by far one of the most interesting threads I have read in a long time. I think I might share a story, sorry if it is slightly off topic. My PP playing started like most people’s a depleted bankroll and low morale, but as luck would have it I got a second chance some time in late May. A mysterious and measly 20 dollars was in my account; I decided to play it. This time I only played PL 25 dollar buy in. And in 3 weeks I was able to turn that 20 into over 500 cashed out with about 150 in the account. I was happy to make back all I have lost and then sum. As this crazy game of poker went on I kept thinking that I am just getting lucky. However even I couldn't help thinking that I was doing something right, that is until the week of bad beats came. Not to bore you with the details, since I know we all have been there. But this was my first time in my life where I had AA and had them crack about 8 out of 10. I have very un imaginative play and with aces I always raise pot and reraise and go all in if raised before. That is what worked for me and I thought I was leaving profits on the table but to me being safe and avoiding bad beats is very important. In those few hands I lost my 150 bank roll and as personal choice I refused to put more money into the account. I was wondering if someone here (Fnord) can point me in the right direction. I decided that I will start playing limit, once I get the proper bankroll, but I was wondering what kind of adjustments I need to make from pl to limit. Sorry for this long and mostly uninformative post. This forum has been the main resource for me in the past few months. Thank you all for posting and special thanks to Eric, Xianti and Fnord. | |

Bankroll, bankroll, bankroll. Without it you're at the mercy of your first big negative swing. Particularly the players that have lower win rates than the more profitable members of this board. | |

Guess i still have a lot ot learn. For me after a big lost like that i need a break i guess it hard for me to stomach a loss of 200 on just "bad luck". Can the 50 cent limit game be beat? I have read Holdem for advance players but i believe that would be out thinking the opponets and only trapping myself. Any good books on utlra low limit? | |

I'll second Fnord on the PT remark. I have absolutly no doubt PT will pay for itself within 1 month! | |

Personally, I would say arguing between limit and no limit holdem as to which is the better TYPE of holdem isn't justified at all. |

Ive tried both limit and NL out to some extent. I'll still mess around every now and then with Limit but nothing too serious. I just find NL to be way too profitable on a consistent basis to play limit reguarly. Now dont get me wrong, there are a couple regulars on the NL tables I play at that easily clear over a couple thousand a week at limit. However, neither my skill nor bankroll is at the point where I can do like them. So either has the potential to be very profitable but I find that I'm much more comfortable with the style of play needed to consistently win at NL. |
