At the advice of my NL pupil Fsu_player, I have made a decision to give limit a try. I played my first 1k hand session this afternoon of 1/2 sh and the immediate differences were almost comical.

- 3 Tabling I was seeing about 75 extra hands/hr and my head was basically spinning.

- I find myself betting my oppenents hands almost as often as I bet my own.

- 1/2 party players are undeniably amazing at poker.

There were quite a few hands I was unsure of, but here's two that stuck out in my memory.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, MP folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
