Limit Holdem - why it’s better than NL holdem…
As I said in an earlier post… with NL holdem, it often turns out that you made a big mistake, or watched someone else make a big mistake.
You can keep all of the notes you like, but the dummies run out of money, and the smart guys will clock you if you’ve only met them once and caught them making a dumb move.
With limit holdem, you usually play with the same people for an hour or so, sometimes more. You get a better read on them. Are they savvy and got a bad beat? Are they dumb and deserved it? Either way,they probably both have some money left.
The savvy ones… do you know what they play? You can exploit that. The dumb ones… do you know what they play? You can exploit that.
Did you just see someone get a really bad beat? Do you assume that they are a little tilted? If you have a good hand, you exploit that too.
If you’re a watcher, then limit poker is your game. If you’re a bulldog, then you’ll find that NL poker is your game, or you’ll go broke fast. Either way, you have to know the odds, and you have to know the pot odds. We’ll cover those later. The point here is to play to your strength personality-wise.
