I think it is time to take a little break from sngs

[FieryJustice]

Well, after having a small losing 1000 game set of $215s and a 500 game set of 109s with only a small gain, I think it is time for me to take a little break from the sngs. I "think" I am going to learn to play limit, or at least play it for about a week or so to see how I like it. Right now, sngs just seem like such a grain. Maybe it is the bad run of cards or maybe it simply isnt taking any time off. I almost feel as if I am on some kind of "life tilt" where nothing seems to have a point. Hopefully I can figure out how to make this change. I have no clue why I even posted this. I guess I just needed to ramble.

That all being said, anyone know where to direct me to learn some good limit skills? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah...i've read all the 2+2 books on limit. I am rpetty sure I know what I am doing. i was up $1000 in 15/30 today after 1000 hands, so that was nice. Hopefully the trend will continue.

I think this is not a great idea.

You obviously have a decent roll. Start with 5/10 6-max at a minimum, and you'll have a lot of fun playing with the lags at 10/20 6-max.

small stakes holdem is a book. a very good book, for beating limits that go higher than "low" limits, and encompass those that are mentioned in your post.

My mistake. yes, I have read the book many times. Although it doesn't apply that well to games like 10/20 6 max.

it's possible that the starting hand requirements don't. the argument that the theory and discussion in that book is irrelevant to 10/20 6max is a bad one though. for 10/20 6max the things i'd recommend are, in no order:

1) hepfap
2) sshe
3) top
4) playing a lot of 5/10 6max and 10/20 6max
5) reading the hush forum

I hit a 1000 game break even stretch at the 55s and was miserable the entire time. Take a vacation from poker entirely. I know you are not much of a partier, but go out of town somewhere. Your br will thank you for it. As far as limit goes, you obviously know that experiene is the best teacher, but, I learned most of what I know from SSH.

bro with this+the college post...i think you need to take a break from poker, seriously

i assume you have a massive stash of cash some place, go travel for a month...5k can last you well over a month in Europe, do 2 months if you can. go nail some hot spanish chics, party in clubs with 30,000 people in Ibiza, check out some architecture and cathedrals, live some life bro!!

There is a helluva lot more to life than poker.

a) what Degen said
b) play another form of poker its the best thing I've done for myself recently and couldn't be happier about it.
