Re: Why do you play no-limit? Why do you play limit?
I believe that limit games have - and will continue to have, into the future -many more bad players than no-limit.

Re: Why do you play no-limit? Why do you play limit?
I would agree with "noob" that you have to have a good limit game to start. But, no-limit clearly takes odds farther away from success in the game. With no-limit, it is much easier to pick up betting tells and to get inside someone's head with an "all-in". I thik the reason that limit is perceived as a weaker game is because it does hide bad players who, without the limits, would have no idea how to bet.

i would think that no limit hides bad players better.. due their ability to make the postflop plays worthless by going all-in preflop.

Some choose the no-limit route, some choose the limit route? Some may dabble in both. What are your reasons? [/ QUOTE ] 1) I can't stomach throwing 30BB into a pot and losing to a 2 outer. Thus, I play limit. 2) I can push marginal hands in limit without being force to fold a huge bluff. The highs and lows of limit seem much less extreme. |

[/ QUOTE ] These are common reasons for people not playing no-limit, and they both stem from the same cause: not being adequately bankrolled. If you're playing $25 NL w/ a $200 bankroll, losing your stack can be traumatic; if the bankroll is $1000, it's no big deal. Just a part of the game. Why do I play No-Limit? 1. Limit bores me. 2. I enjoy the freedom of setting pot odds. |

Re: Why do you play no-limit? Why do you play limit?
Personally, I play limit because I have more talent in it. Limit is more about making tons of marginal decisions to try to get an edge, without any single decision being very +EV or -EV (compared to facing a push in NL). It suits me fine.

Re: Why do you play no-limit? Why do you play limit?
I mainly play limit. I originally chose it because there's less danger of losing my money too fast. The swings in no-limit can be gut-wrenching. Plus, I like the strategy and math requirements of playing limit poker where you just can't bet a bunch and push your opponents out.

Limit unless very short handed is checkers, where NL is chess.
You can be a lot more creative with NL and genearally the cards don't even matter. NL is a lot more fun, more challenging, has less variance,is less mechanical and the optimal way to go in the long run unless you are a hu limit master. |

[/ QUOTE ] Limit actually is the more complicated of the two games, as you are faced with many more decisions each betting round. That being said, I play no-limit, because I love the feeling of stacking a donkey. Limit play can be a bit boring to me at times and I like the creativity you can utilize in NL games. |

Re: Why do you play no-limit? Why do you play limit?
I choose limit cash games because, for me, it is hard to call All-Ins or push All-in without the nuts. I assume this will lead to a lower EV from No Limit than I achieve in Limit.
In the end it's a big mental thing that keeps me playing limit. Maybe after I get my limit game somewhere respectable I'll start to dabble in the No Limit cash games. |
