m21s 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I would like to know what everyone on here plays.This is more about limit vs no limit.What stakes you play at doesn't matter because everyone has a different bankroll.I am not an internet player so all my play is in a live casino here in las vegas. But this obviously applies to everyone.So the question is...What do you play? Limit or no limit?And Why?I'm looking for different peoples point of views in why they play what they play (limit vs no limit).Also if you play both internet and live do you play the same games on both or do you play different?Thanks.

RyanM 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Mostly no limit hold em, usually very low buy ins ($50-$200), but I do occasionally play $1-$2 and $2/$4 limit hold em. I'm a decent at best Omaha player too.Why? I'm too poor to dump money into other games to learn them. Link to post Share on other sites

Jdr999 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I play limit hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha.I have tried NL hold'em online, but I suck a it. Yet I do well in NL STT and MTT's. Link to post Share on other sites
Rude Dog 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Screw the search button. This is an interactive forum, not a freaking archive.I play limit, low limit. I like NL, but, suck at it and know it. I know that NL is where the money is, grinding at limit is just that, a grind.What's funny, kinda, is we play a few family home games, and they always want to play NL tournies, like on TV. I have over 6,000 hands online since I got PT, and who knows how many thousands before. I'm the only one that plays in clubs live. They know nothing about NL, and little about poker in the first place, so, I generally win. But, it's my least favorite game. Link to post Share on other sites

Rude Dog 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 How do I know I suck at NL? At the end of the game I have no money.It has been said that poker is a betting game played with cards. I believe that. I have never felt comfortable calling or making large raises, even though I know in my heart that's where the profit is.In NL you have to learn to win without the best cards all the time. To do that I think you have to be able to disassociate yourself from the money to some degree. I still see a ten dollar chip as a ten dollar bill, and my BR can't take big hits. Playing NL, or any game, with scared money is a prescripton for going broke.A good NL player will make it expensive to see the turn, and if you are not comfortable tossing it all in on a chance, you'll never win.I;m reasonably comfortable with my BR playing $1/2. Losing an entire buy in makes me furious at myself, but, doesn't kill me.I play at Party, and the smallest NL game is .25/.50, I think, and a $50 buy in doesn't seem to last as long as it does at 1/2 limit.

NOFX_PUNK 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I play a lot of limit at a higher level than NL, mainly hold em as that's the easiest game to get! I play either full (6 seat) $1/$2 Limit or a short handed (2-4 handed at 6 seat table) $2/$4 Limit (the latter which I'm the first to admit is slightly above my bankroll, but I show consistent profit due to more aggression in the pots).I play the same in NL but lower with a full 6 seat table of $.50/$1 or occasionally short handed 3 or 4 man (6 seat table) $1/$2 Nl, but only to make a quick few bucks (last night I sat for a laugh at a £1/£2 with £20 and left with £95 after 9 minutes!) but I don't usually feel comfortable with the idea of losing a $1/$2 buy in a NL and playing scared money is a recipe for going broke so I only take a dip if I have had a good day.I also play a lot of NL Single table SnGs with the occasional $20 MTT on stars thrown in for good measure, havn't played there for a while though!And to the OP what about yourself?

hank213 1,823 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I mostly play live NLHE 2/5 100-300 buy in. The reason I play that is it's the only live NL game close to me. I started at 3/6 there but got tired of the weak/passive play negatively impacting my hourly rate. With no limit I can play tight and still walk out with a nice, healthy hourly win rate (approx 26/hr for 2005), all it takes is one or two key pots per session. Link to post Share on other sites

Rude Dog 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Nofx got my attention up there...The NL tables can be played with small blinds, and one coul.d tighten the screws down and play ultra tight until he feels more comfortable.I may give this a shot...I just can't build a BR grinding.It would improve my tourny play, too. There's a game in Hayward every Saturday, $50+10, that pays aabout $1,200...I could take 20 shots at it and only have to win one to come out ahead. Link to post Share on other sites
radar37 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Rude dog, I liked your post. I also have had a problem with getting over seeing it as chips instead of real money. And I respect your reasons to stick with limit. I think its important to learn how to play limit first anyway. I think some of the plays you learn in limit holem help you in no limit also. Like raising for a free card with a draw. My goal for the new year is to stop cashing out as much as I have and build my bankroll to move up in limits. I play a lot of games. 1 2 stud, 2 4 stud, 1 2 to occasionally 5 10 holdem, although usually 2 4, 50 or 100 dollar buy in PLO and PLO8, and just recently I've been having luck at the 50 dollar buy in shorthanded NLH tables. I think the last is really where there is good money, and I think I'm going to build my bankroll to play the 100 buy in shorthanded NLH tables regularly. I only multitable, well 2 tables anyway when I'm playing limit holdem. I find my game suffers if I play more and can't pay attentioin to the players at my table. Still learning this game but I know theres money in it if I'm patient. I need to move up in limits and put my money out there to gamble instead of beating up on games I know I can beat. It's the only way I'll get better. GL everyone, good thread. Link to post Share on other sites

Its not easy to win one tournament outta every 20. Trust me. Play like 10 and see how you do. Link to post Share on other sites
