Mosdef trying limit - take a look

[mosdef]

I'm giving party 1-2 a spin. i'm a regular no-limit sit-n-go player, need a break after a losing streak.

Since i know zip re:limit, i've been playing some simple, robotic poker trying to get a feel for it. (simple, robotic = former sit-n-go player). here's my patented mosdef formula.

-play any two cards 10 and up, raising them all preflop, dropping some of them when UTG, UTG+1, or UTG+2.
-also playing all PP preflop, looking for set or undercards on the flop, raising high PPs or low PPs with late position
-basically betting any top pair flop, or flop with all undercards, and flush draws.
-hammering away turn and river if i think i'm ahead, and calling down when i'm scared but if the pot is huge.

how's this for a loose guideline? anyone see any massive mistakes that the seasoned limit player would laugh at?

This is not nearly nuanced enough. Study some hands on this forum and micro. Welcome to the boards Black Dante.

micro forum dude.
check the micro faq, it has a link to a starting hand guide thread.

oops, i didn't notice the micro under small.

by the way, i appreciate (some) of the additional nuances. this is just a rough starting point. for example, with a bunch of limpers i would also call (maybe raise) in late position with suited connectors, setting myself up for the monster haul!

later guys - i'll be back in a month when i've mastered limit and moved up to "small".

it's so sad that i have to move "up" to small-limit. so much shame...

Try .50/1. It's way easier than 1/2, and a very good place to learn the ropes. There are many posters who will tell you that 1/2 is even harder than 2/4, especially if you are playing the 6-max tables. The point: if you're new to limit, and wouldnt be comfortable at 2/4, then you should start at .50/1.00, not 1/2.

Thanks, penguin. maybe i'll try that.

I can handle the downswings anyway. i have a day job.
