Default Re: What adjustments to make going from Pot-limit to Fixed-limit O8?

In Limit O8 you lose the ability to "control" the betting or to be controlled by the betting - i.e. no one can use betting the whole pot to manipulate a hand. So in that way you can play a little looser because you basically know exactly how much you may have to invest, but on the other hand players will call to the river more than in PL.
However, in live O8 you will really see a lot of incredible variation on what people will play. It's important to get a good feel for the table so you can decide what will fly with that group. I always start out very tight, playing only for the nuts until I see what is happening.
Good luck.
