Default Re: I want to learn Limit Holdem

A few thoughts for ya.

1. Limit hold em, particularly low-limit hold em, is a SHOWDOWN game. This means typically to win the pot you're going to have to show down the best hand.

2. Forget about bluffing, especially at low limit.

3. YOu'll have to learn how to protect your hand better. Unlike no limit you cannot bet X to offer Y odds, sometimes only a check-raise will protect your hand.

4. Learn to bet your draws for value. Pot odds are much easier to guestimate on future streets in limit and thus you can sweeten the pot when you have a good draw, since there is no danger of somebody giving you terrible odds to chase it later.
