    for me i'm able to put ppl on hands more easily when i play NL online, sum nights when i'm really playing good i can call out ppl's hands almost everyhand, but then sum nights i'm just not there so.. i started off playing NL and thats all i ever played, i guess i play NL cause i'm impatient. Sum nights playing NL i can triple my stack, also while playing NL it's easier to control the game. I should start playing sum limit poker though to get ready for the casino's. I feel that limit is more mechanical and what i mean by that unless your playing at higher limits, its pretty much check, raise, and what are my odds.. I'm thinking bout switching over though, cause i've read more books on limit, and i'm beginning to think its a better way to gradually increase your bankroll.

    You, sir, are a moron.

    You WANT action on aces. The more your opponents you have, the higher your expectation will be. You want a million people going to the flop with you.

    How many cards are in YOUR deck??

    There are fish at every level of every game. It is a definite wrong statement to say that most limit players are good. Most are fish. Most are fish and they don't even know it.

    My guess would be that most online players that are the "I saw the WSOP on TV and I want to play poker" crowd want to play NL tournies. I'd suppose that limit and NL ring have about the same amount of fish.

    The way you talk it appears to me you think Limit players are superior to NL players. A 4 to 1 dog is HUGE. Pushing with KK is not bad if you will get action. NL is a much much more complex game than limit will ever be.

    Uhhh this is incorrect imho. Not only does your variance go through the roof, you will never know if you have the best hand unless you flop a set and turn a boat. You will call down or raise a bunch with the losing hand and end up tilting your money away in the long run.

    I think I showed you make the most profit long term with AA if 12 players go all-in with you.

You bet the pot he goes all-in for say 80bb -- what do you do?? Will you always fold? Actually you have no choice - you have to fold - so much for protecting top pair
    You didn't see the 40k pot on FTP with SpiritRock vs Phil Ivey? Phil had KQ on a flop of Q37 rainbow i think. He called a 15k allin with TPGK. He won BTW.

    In your example, I will call very often. AQ is a HUGE favorite over JQ.

    In ring in would't touch this call at higher limits (NL) it's smells too much of a set up with you opponent holding AA or KK or even made set - reverse psycology - it looks like a buy so I'll call.

    In a tourney -call - life is too short. One on one a lot of pros will hit the all in button with mid par/weak flop - kost ppl will put down Tp ifs its J or T.
    See me playing $10/$20NL like it was play money
