limit or no limit hold'em?

MJ4H · 12-10-2004, 05:39 PM

No limit. Sit and go tournaments are the best, but i like me some ring games too.

I can only stand limit omaha hi/lo or stud hi/lo these days. Limit hold em = zzz to me.

When I first started playing online I really liked limit games, but after getting burned by chasers a few times I switched to no limit. I find the game to be much better for my style of play.

So where are you guys more successful, limit or no limit?

PL and Limit is what i prefer for Omaha.
I can deal with PL Holdem, because you can generaly play almost the same as NL.
But Limit i friggin hate with a passion.

In my very limited amount of experience (strictly HoldEm)
I prefer Limit ... but I do much better with NL

Seeing as how I'm extremely left brained, I have to play limit. I'm slowly learning no limit, but feel most at home at the limit tables.

just lost 50 bucks to trip jacks when I was holding two pair, aces and jacks. Then I hit quad queens the next hand and made back about half.

I better at limit than I am at no limit.

I play both, and my success varies wildly with both games.

Generally, against poor players, I think the no limit environment gives me the ability to (try to) force them into the plays that I want them to make -- so I think that against weaker and/or looser players, I prefer to play with no limits. Either the tournament setting or a cash no limit game is fine with me.

However, I also appreciate the balance and structure of a limit game, and still spend the bulk of my online playing time playing limit hold 'em, at various levels.

I hate limit. There are always chasers who give you bad beats and it is impossible to bluff which take away a huge part of the game.

Radii · 12-10-2004, 09:30 PM

I think I am better at limit and better suited for limit, though I do well enough at no limit that its not a waste of my time.

No offense, but it certainly looks like you're not playing limit holdem right, or at least looking at the game correctly. You want chasers. They are what makes you a winning player. And, just like any other game, there is bluffing, but you must pick the right situation to bluff instead of spewing chips blindly.

I dislike limit hold em because of the huge variance.

That's a much better response than mine. Agreed.
