I usually just play NL STT and MTTs, but tonight i thought i'd play some limit ring games. I opened up two 50c/$1 10 seat games, and I did ok. Doubled my money on table one and lost it all on table two...net result -$0.11.

As a test i played table 1 pretty loose and table 2 tight. Table 1 I pretty much saw the flop with anything...5/6o, K/5 etc. Table 2 I would only go to the flop with good hands... pocket pairs, two cards 10+, suited connectors...

I only won about two hands on table two, usually something like this would happen:

2/9 offsuite ffs! I had best hand all the way to the river, but there doesn't seem anyway to scare ppl away, if it was NL would have priced them out.

Table one i just kept hiting the call button as long as i had anysort of draw,
(backdoor flushes, inside straights, an over card, anything) bet/raised any hand with a fair chance of winning...it worked pretty well...surely theres more to it than that?

I only played for about an hour, so it could have all been chance, but the contrast seemed pretty stark to me...

Anyone here play limit ring games at low limits? what sort of strat do you use?

Looks fine. You're rolling in Sklansky chips.

Sklansky Chips?

You made a play with a positive expected value. You got sucked out. In the long run its a winning play. It sucks, but it happens.

Great. I suspect, however, i can't get hookers and booze with Sklansky chips?

Nope. But Sklansky is 99.9% sure he isn't God. For what its worth..

he's 99.9% sure he isnt god.... but he tries anyways because the EV of that 0.1% makes it worth it
