Default Re: Three random NL questions from a limit player

I must point out that TJ's book mainly covers tournaments for holdem. If you want to learn no limit in a side game, you need a different book. Super/System is very good for that. The thing in no limit is that you probably don't want to see the river unless you go all in, or you have a lock, in which case you wish you were all in. The best way to win in no limit is to make other people fold and give you their money, not take their money with a better hand, but you need the better hand eventually. Bet your draws, if you get raised go all in. Don't play when losing an all in pot would break your entire bankroll. I know these are no brainers, but TJ doesn't cover it, and if you're learning still, it may not be obvious. And don't ever base your raise on some equation for multiplying the blinds. Base it on the other people. If you want to raise preflop but are worried about callers, raise enough so there aren't any callers. Remember this too. In nolimit, you probably only want to play a heads up pot. its easier to force one person out than two. Keep that in mind.
