I make this assumption based on your characterization of limit as a game where you can't protect your hand and where luck reigns supreme. If you understood the odds a bit, you'd understand that you don't need to protect your hands usually.

Can you expand on this a bit? I feel I am close to an epiphany in understanding this, but not quite [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Like the OP, I've always stayed away from Limit because I couldn't manipulate the pot odds and make it wrong for my opponent to call.

To a newbie like me, on the surface, limit seems like a game that's easy to get drawn-out on. Is limit that cut & dry, in that, if I don't have better pot-odds than odds of making my hand, I should fold?
