Just curious... which do people prefer... fixed limit or no limit poker?

Personally, I'm a limit person... it keeps me from bluffing too much when there's a limit to how hard I can push people, so I like to think that limit poker is a better tool for making myself a disciplined player. It's also full of bad players... more profitable IMO.

Other opinions?

I make a good deal of my money playing HU, and I believe that the level of play for nl is much lower than in limit, at least for HU. The nl players are SO undisciplined, as an example, I won 4 HU sngs in a row within 12 minutes because people have no concept of how to use their chips. Even playing against a COMPLETE idiot in limit, it takes 20-30 mins to beat them out.

In general, I prefer playin nl when I'm at the top of my game and a limit game (preferably a split pot game) when my game is off to keep myself in check.

I like limit, almost the precisely opposite reason though. I feel I can pound pound pound and get more value in limit poker.


Tournament LHE is ridiculous though

Really depends on my mood, and what mu crruent playing style fits the best right now.

Hey guys,

ATM I don't like either lol. I've been stuck in a rut for the last 3k hands. Granted I don't play so much, it's annoying to not move up or down.

But I dislike NL less . Limit is a lot more mechanical than NL. I mean if limit is a science, then NL is art .

NL is more of a people game imho, more psychology in it than limit... more freedom for expression .

I think for beginners there's a lot more money to be made in NL, but limit has more potential.

I plan on learning both. IMHO, if you learn limit, it can help improve your NL game. Course it also works the other way.... I hope

Cheers,

Mike

what sort of rut naruto? me too, my sheets say I've made $7 in the last 10 hours of play time. theonly reason it's not negative is because 7stud hi/lo players are all retarded

Hey NoManner,

Well it's probably more like 5k hands or something like that.

It's weird tho. I started last month like much of the previous month. Went up like 350 rather easily, then had a string of sessions where I lost approx 135 dollars total, and since then it has been up and down. So last month I finished up about 220, which isn't so good at all.

It is partly my fault, during this string of equality, I did start doing a lot of experimenting. Mostly regarding position and a few confidential things... I have moved back to my 'original' game, and although haven't won much, I feel extremely confident. Like I have managed to get lots of money in the pot when I'm 70 percent fav+... even though I've lost about 60 percent of those hands where I get it in as huge fav... I am really quite confident.

Anywho, that's poker. I have taken a little break, done some studying, and will probably ease back into poker after a few days. I want to try limit out, but I don't think I can handle playing the .25/.5 limit tables, where the earning potential is just so low... I can't play higher stakes cause I'm such a weak limit player. Argh

Cheers,

Mike

PS. The idea behind the limit move is of course to not stay at .25/.5... Plan would be to eventually go to 3/6 or something.

cold cards always blow over eventually

You need that experimentation to prove that you were doing it right before :-p

I think... I'm having major tilt issues

My game is completely off and I don't even listen to my instincts. So yes, I think I'll be posting and all still but I'm gunna have to take at least a week break from the game.

Also, I've played the 1/2 and 2/4 limit games and the competition really isn't that strong. Actually, I get the feeling that I was just running good at the 2/4 but I think you could probably beat the 1/2 with some practice and a little extra experience in limit

I plan to try limit too, when i get back to poker. The last 2-3 weeks were bad at NL, probably because i played 1h per day instead of 4h, but still i think the up & downs are much greater in NL and imagine that at 1/2 i had days that i was down 600$ or more while my monthly average is around 1500$. So if i dont score more than 500$ this weekend i will move to partypoker 0.25/0.5 to learn. I am supposed to play Axs and not pp's less than 77 right?

I was getting killed in limit, and am having a little more success with NL (maybe I'm just not losing it as fast). My problem was limit was that with a made hand I could never bet enough to get rid of the draws and it seemed they'd always hit them on the river.

On the other hand, maybe I just wasn't playing my draws as strongly as I should have.
