I have played limit poker mainly in the past, but am looking at playing NL. I have played a little before but nothing big other than tournies. Do you work with pot odds when playing No Lmit? In low limit poker you are almost always getting the pot odds you need for flush draws, but if you have the A or K flush draw, and someone bets twice the pot and only 1 caller so far, are you going to risk that on the flush draw? In limit they can't make that big of a bet so its most likley going to be an easy call for the pot size. What about in No-Limit.

are there any other tips you can give me about no-limit ring games?

Thanks

That is the art on NL and PL poker.

Immediate pot odds are important in NL, as are implied odds.

Also, knowing all of your outs is important.


For an exaple of implied odds, lets say you have

Your oppenent raises 4xBB and you are in the BB, and decide to call.

The flop comes


You flopped a double belly buster. If a 9 or a 5 falls, it will be very hard for your opponent to drop a made hand like an overpair.

You have 8 outs, and 47 unseen cards. If you check, and your oppnent bets the pot, you are getting 2:1 to call and your odds of hitting are 4.8:1 against.

So your odds are not good enough, however, if you and your opponent have another 80BB left apiece, you are getting about 12:1 in implied odds, if you think you can bust him if you hit your hand.
