My only problem playing limit poker
is that i am unable to respect my opponents. i cant help but think of limit holdem as the female version of poker. have any high stakes nl players over come this adversity? i am sure there is alot of easy money in these games (all the best players play NL)...
Well Heres One Hand... I open UTG w/ A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Some Donk who probally always plays Limit calls in the SB. Flop 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] He bets, I raise, He 3 bets, I cap that [censored]. Turn T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] chk, I bet, He calls. River K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] He bets, I raise, He 3 Bets, I cap that [censored], He calls. He has A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I laugh my ass off at Limit Players all over the world. |

Re: My only problem playing limit poker
I'll probably be the only person that responds to this. Your arrogance and rash judgement of limit players is brazen beyond description.
Limit HE is an EXTREMELY difficult game to beat, more so than NL, IMHO. In NL you can very easily force your opponents into making mistakes, as you directly control the amount they are required to call. It is also much easier to force them into pot sized mistakes. A limit pro must squeeze every last bit of +ev out of every situation he finds it in, and recognizing these situations can be very difficult. Making a blanket assumption that all the best players play NL, is mind numbingly stupid and untrue. I'm not discounting that being an expert NL player takes skill, as it certainly does, but playing limit at a high level against equal opposition is no cake walk, you would do well to remember that while posting in this forum. lf |

Re: My only problem playing limit poker
good response, lil feller. while personally, i havent decided which brand of holdem to focus on, i definitely respect limit just as much as no liimit, and was likewise offended by the op. i bet he really isnt a very good nl player, either judging solely on this post.

[/ QUOTE ] 1) You were offended by his post? Wow. You take poker too seriously. 2) Your judgement is poor. Kane is an excellent NLHE player. 3) Of course aggro higher limit games can be tough. However, I know of no expert NLHE players who have trouble beating limit games. I know a number of expert LHE players who have a lot of trouble beating NLHE games. Just my observations, take from that what you will. 4) KKF is a dick. But he rules. |

Re: My only problem playing limit poker
agree with El Diablo on this one. I just checked up after 33k hands and i came to the harsh reality that I suck at NLHE....I think i'm sticking to limit where I do very well.
