Mixed Holdem?

[BigDMcGee 3,352]

I see why NL players are missing bets and sometimes calls/pots. but if a limit player can coast through NL, then it would follow that a Nl player should be able to coast through limit. Plus a NL player getting maximum value in NL would have an edge over a limit player getting maximum value in limit.At least until the blinds reach higher levels.

This is exactly my perception of the event. We agree on something, balloon, mark this date down.

NL players would have a tougher time coasting through the limit section because the blinds would be a larger % of their stack in comparison to the NL section.

Am I wrong in understanding that the blinds will be equal in NL and Limit?

If you go to www.worldseriesofpoker.com and look at the structure during each level the blinds are double in the limit part of each level.

You assume that maximum value is bigger in NL compared to Limit just because you can bet more. Remember, you both lose more when you lose and the blinds in NL are about half of the limit blinds...

Wow! As an outsider I don't even know where to begin. As far as I remember when Clinton left your budget surplus was $236 billion yearly. You also had the longest sustained economic growth in American history. Now you've got a deficit that is in the hundreds of billions yearly. For me the economy is the most important part of what politicians do. I guess you don't agree, we seldom do

This is all kind of pointless since regardless of whether a NL or LHE player, the player who is proficient at both will obviously have the biggest edge and after all isn't that the point of this kind of event?Oooh but as an afterthought, what if they made the limit rounds longer? Say 75 minute lvls with 30 NL and 45 LHE? ...maybe not.

Maximum value in NL is more, by definition. I will look at blind structures though.

Level 6 blinds no limit -$100-$200 next level limit blinds- $200/$400 limits = $400-$800Level 7 Nl -$200-$300 next limit - $300/$600 limits = $600-$1200I see now that I was wrong, the blind structure makes it more important to be a good limit player and allows you to coast through NLMan that's twice this year I've been wrong. This is getting to be a habit

Yeah it would be pretty dumb to buy into this if you were a specialist, but people will still do it.

Seriously?When I started out playing HE, like 5 years ago, it was limit and I never got passed $10-20 but now I strictly play NL and I have no concept of what you say above here. I just havent thought about that game in so long. Weird.

Daniel is talking about higher stakes limit holdem games. In games 30/60 and up, the players that get picked on are the weak tight ones. They are basically bullied out of the pot by aggressive players playing as Daniel described.
