BigDMcGee 3,355 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Small Stakes Hold 'em is by David Sklanksky. It is the bible for low limit Link to post Share on other sites
hanski 0 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 If relief from swings is what you're looking for by playing limit, don't expect any better my friend. The swings can be unbearable sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites

LincolnK 1 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 what range would you call low limit? does that include the 3-6 limit game at the indian casino near here? would the info in small stakes hold'em be applicable when playing against the superdonkey calling stations there?

Sushiman 0 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 There are a lot more bad players in low stakes NL than low stakes limit right now, are you sure you wouldn't just rather move down to a level in NL games?You might be under the impression that limit requires a lot less money to play. This is wrong and it is a bad reason to switch games. Otherwise, everyone else's recommendation of SSHE is right on. Link to post Share on other sites

schnoodle_C 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'll recommend an alternative to SSH that I think is better. It is the new book by Mat Maroon called "Winnding Texas Hold Em''. Plus, it is only 10 bucks. One word of warning though, while it is well written, it is poorly edited. Link to post Share on other sites

Consistanly up not all over the place like NL. Read Lee Jones Low Limit Hold Em along with SSHE.If you don't have big swings, you're not playing aggressively enough.Define aggressiveness. I think I play too tight because I don't have big swings in limit. What kind of hands (preflop and post flop) should I be playing hard. I play .25/.50 on UB. Link to post Share on other sites

Say it with me....It Depends!Heh.There are so many scenarios where you could be playing too tight or too weak. You really just have to post hands you have questions on in strat to figure it out.
