Pot Limit vs No Limit

[bobbyi]

It is easier to go all-in early in the hand in no limit than in pot limit. Thus, people are all-in more often preflop or on the flop. When you are (or your opponent is) all-in, there are no decisions to be made for the remaining betting rounds. Making decisions is where the skill of the game is involved, so less decisions means a less skillful game.

At party the PL25 games aren't any tougher than the NL25 games. I don't know about PL50 or 100.

I disagree. There is a simple tactic that works much better at NL25 than PL25: When you have a good hand preflop, open-raise to 6 BB ($3). That's much larger than the pot. You get called by fish with garbage. In PL, you can't offer people the chance to make such a mistake preflop on a regular basis.

So if I understand this correctly Pot Limit tends to have more people seeing more flops since you can't force them out like you may be able to in NL. With this being the case, does it make sense to loosen up a little bit and play more speculative hands, like one gapped connectors, small pocket pairs, etc? If the flop hits you hard you play it, if it misses you dump it. I would think that with lots of multiway action this would be +EV.

Flush draws for one. If you just call, they may not have the pot odds to continue. But if you pump the pot, they have to continue their draw.
