Default Re: If this was No Limit....

It's just the way it goes. Limit will never be anywhere near as popular as NL. Every single stupid homegame tourney I've been to you hear the same tired remarks...

"You can't bluff in limit."
"They always call you down."
etc.

Also, when they show a limit play on TV and people are coldcalling with AKs, it sucks to watch anyway. The only people who find a broadcast of a limit tournament interesting are limit players and only near the end did the broadcast get remotely interesting when people starting actually trying to play well postflop.

When played by a knowledgable player, this is true. The fish get plucked quicker.

When will you people realize that there will ALWAYS be new fish entering the game... Maybe not at the rate we have seen in the last few years, but a steady stream will always be there... This is why Vegas and every other gambling establishment has done so well over the years. 99.9% of those who come to Vegas are fish (anyone who plays casino games, if not a card counter, is a fish)... In poker its the same thing, newbies entering the game with little or no knowledge looking for fun and action with a foolish dream... It is a flaw in the vast majority of humans. The desire for "action" and a dream to get rich quick...

Even though I play for small stakes, when I play poker I feel like I am the house. I provide entertainment and action to those who keep giving me there money month after month...

This is not always true in smaller markets.
