This is why I hate low stake Limit hold em.....atrocious

[Irish Se7en]

so tell me again how someone wins in limit poker?

A/6 keeps calling to the end and 7/6 at least hit's it on the turn.

There goes your Thursdays Night winnings.

i'm still trying to figure that out.

[TheMightyJim2k]

there are so many decisions to make in limit, that if you make more right than the next guy you win, but the short term variance is much much higher because of these many marginal situations. The good news is that if you are winning 60% of your sessions in limit, you are really really good, the bad news is that you are losing 40% of your sessions.

The biggest advantage IMHO, is that the economy of limit is much slower to go bust compared to NL, and lots of players are slight losers but don't realize it. They just keep slowly bleeding money over the long term instead of hemoraghing (sp?) it and quitting.

despite all of that I still think NL is more profitable online right now.

This is the sort of thing that confuses me.

[Big Mike]

I had almost the exact thing happen to me twice the last couple days. What is it with A6o that makes people think they should cold call w it? Oh yeah, it has an Ace in it. This is why I love limit.

[SpeakEasy]

I've tried to add "mwfeldman" to my list on PokerStars, but you have the "hidden" setting turned on so that you don't show up when I search.

Haha. (But true.)

BTW, I thought you were a NL player?

[hachkc]

This is one of the reasons I've given up on limit online. The other being, I'm not very good at it.

Now live, home games, I play more limit in cash games than NL/PL but its a wider variety (HE, Omaha, Stud, 3xDraw, etc).

Anyone know of any 3rd party software for P* buddylists? I know UB has something and I thought PP had something. I had a list of folks I would sometimes search out for in PLO8 but its such a waste for NLHE.

i don't do better than break even in any cash game, but i dabble in limit and NL. working on it...
