Recommended Posts

Limit v. No limit.....I dont know what is bettter.I do know I am playing NL 100 EXCLUSIVELY for the time being. It is just so easy to beat.Check out this hand where I flop the nuts, play it completely straight-forward and get paid off.***** Hand History for Game 2590474449 *****$100 NL Texas Hold'em - Wednesday, August 24, 16:33:10 EDT 2005Table Table 55002 (6 max) (No DP) (Real Money)Seat 2 is the buttonTotal number of players : 6 Seat 1: snewton35 ( $181.60 )Seat 3: sambaliten ( $145.11 )Seat 4: boston82 ( $162.15 )Seat 2: CaneBrain888 ( $104 )Seat 6: Jepi_A ( $100 )Seat 5: mogatroid ( $38.76 )sambaliten posts small blind [$0.50].boston82 posts big blind [$1].** Dealing down cards **Dealt to CaneBrain888 [ 5d Ad ]mogatroid folds.snewton35 folds.CaneBrain888 raises [$3].sambaliten calls [$2.50].boston82 calls [$2].** Dealing Flop ** [ 4d, 6d, 9d ]sambaliten checks.boston82 checks.CaneBrain888 bets [$6].sambaliten calls [$6].boston82 calls [$6].** Dealing Turn ** [ Kh ]sambaliten checks.boston82 checks.CaneBrain888 bets [$15].sambaliten folds.boston82 calls [$15].** Dealing River ** [ 7d ]boston82 bets [$50].CaneBrain888 is all-In [$80]boston82 calls [$30].boston82 shows [ Qd, 4c ] a flush, queen high.CaneBrain888 shows [ 5d, Ad ] a flush, ace high.CaneBrain888 wins $215 from the main pot with a flush, ace high with ace kicker.TYWith this donkishness going on I cant see how it would be better to play limit. I agree that limit is harder....but that seems like a bad reason to play it.

Remember those words and bookmark this thread as you will need to revisit it at some point to remember what confidence felt like after you and variance start dancing. glad you got paid this hand, wish you many more.

Ok, I admit you and Kurt are both correct. At some point, because of variance I will be singing a different tune.God, it just seems like these guys are SOOO bad though, you know?I mean they are making moves a person with a brain couldnt possibly rationalize.just had a hand....I have 250 in chips and am in the BB, other guy in SB has about 80 bucks in chips.I have K10... folds around to him...he raises to 4 I call.Flop comes KK7. He bets pot I call. turn is a 3. He bets pot I call. River is a jack...he bets pot....I am worried he keeps firing but I reluctantly figure I must call.He has AJ. I bust him. How could he keep betting.I dont know I guess i am just babbling and I am sure things will change for the worse soon. But this is fun so far.

ok DNA that was pretty bad....guess I will have to keep in mind that idiots like that are bound to find a nut once in a while.....I will try to stay humble.....It is hard right now though I am at a 6 max table with one solid player and 4 total donkeys....one in particular is a complete ATM....up to 475 from 100 in about 40 minutes.

yea just trying to make a point. in the long run you are right bad players will pay you off. unfortunately i have just had too many of them 'find their nuts' in a row putting me down $2K in like 10 days. when things are going great its like you cant lose the poker gods give you all your flops, but when things start turning in the other direction its like you wonder if you even know how to play the game at all.ride the wave man!

Thanks, and I will keep your advice in mind.However, am I wrong about how bad the level of play is at this level??It is just atrocious....at least from what I have seen over the last two weeks.....
