Default Is UB\'s Royal Hold\'em any indication of Limit ability

I am a NL player and have tried a number of times to test the waters in Limit. Each time I get burned (or should that be scalded?).

Anyway, UB have brought in this Royal Hold'em game and I am doing well at the lower limit though my sample size is small.

Can I take this as any indication of ability at Limit?

Read it but skipped the Limit section (cos I was only playing NL).
Time to get it back down from the shelf.

I think you're thinking of Getting Started in Hold 'Em. If you skipped the 'limit section' in Small Stakes Hold 'Em then you skipped the whole book.

And for your original question, I don't think Royal Hold 'Em is a great test for gauging limit skills. It's a different game that's more about nut peddling than the routine pushing of marginal edges that comes up in regular LHE.

Hmmm... So you didn't read it? (Small Stakes Hold-Em is a limit hold-em book.)

And to answer your question, it doesn't sound like it is.

Oops.
One thing for sure. My "reading" ability on the forum seems to need improvement.

Only 10-A of each suit, so a 20 card deck instead of a 52 card.

Weird game.
