| My group of friends doesn't play very often (with all the schedules and what-not, we're lucky if we can get together once a month). It's always been NL. . .but I've been thinking recently of suggesting limit hold 'em.
Some of the guys who play don't really prefer playing hold 'em, but they do anyway because they're good sports. These same guys go for the usual dealer's choice home game stuff. My thinking is that the structure of a limit game, combined with straight poker -- instead of the "threes, one-eyed Jacks, and the Queen of Spades in the hole are wild" types of games -- might be a nice compromise for everyone.
Also, I'm starting to get serious about my poker (i.e., looking to make some long-term money from playing), and I think limit games build discipline by encouraging playing only premium hands and making sure you know your pot odds.
I'd welcome opinions and thoughts from anyone who's played a good deal of limit and NL, to get a "compare and contrast" feel AND to just hear some stories from others.  |
