played a tourney on full tilt last night got 6th outta about 190, couple bad beats at the end. seems to me that people try and play it like no limit, calling 2 bets cold with crap. if you are a newer player, try and learn how to play games like limit holdem, 7cardstud, omaha pl, because the waters are pretty warm, i dont even consider myself good in these games and made 2 striaght final tables, a 2nd place in the omaha even.

I have been saying this for a long time on here...
if you want to truly call yourself a Poker Player
you must play all the games well....
I played in the $1,500 Buy-in H.O.R.S.E. World Series event this year and it was a blast, that was some REAL POKER....playing nothing but No Limit Hold'em is foolish yet 99% of the newer players only limit themselves to this one game
just dumb
dont get me wrong I do love No Limit Hold'em....but I love it just as much as 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo/8 or 2 - 7 Triple Draw Lowball

also I made a ton of cash playing $5 - $10 Pot Limit Omaha cash games during my stay at the Rio....
you do find much tougher players then you would a Hold'em game but I would say on average there were 4 or 5 really good players and another 4 or 5 players who had no chance in hell at keeping their money
more than paid for my tournament buy-in in 1 night....it's easy money....learn more games people!

clowninmyside, how is limit hold 'em different from no limit hold 'em with regards to winning strategies? I've been playing 6-12 limit, 8-16 limit, and 20-40 limit hold 'em at a local casino since December of 2007. Would appreciate any tips to improve my game to have more winning days than losing days. Thank you.

Thanks for the advice, clowninmyside. You know, I read hold 'em books and magazine articles, and they all say aggression is good. I then take that and apply to the 6-12, 8-16, and 20-40 limit hold 'em games. I swear, in these limit games, they don't know when to fold. When you 3 bet and/or cap with KK and AA, they will call you with 64 off suit or 109 off suit. I swear, it seems to me in these limit hold 'em games, they will pay any price to see the flop. And once they get a piece of the flop with their 64 or 109, your KK and AA are dead. How do you handle these players?
I always raise with KK and AA. But if raising preflop does not eliminate players with marginal hands, do you still raise with AK and AQ in early position? And there's so much slow-playing in limit hold 'em, especially 6-12 and 8-16. And because of my aggression, I lost my shirt playing with these type of players. Any advice? Thanks.

limit is just a totally different game, in No -lim, you generally don't wanna chase unless you are getting a good price. Limit is all about making straights and flushes, there you can rake inhuge pots. Generally you need 2 pair or better to win if there are a lot of callers. Depending on what your position is , if you have AA or KK, it may not matter if you raise pre-flop, as there will be chasers to the river anyway- nothing you can do. It is a different form of poker, more of a real poker game, as no lim. can be a donk all-in fest.

Cash Games learn the math.....plain and simple. If you can master the mathematics of Poker you can play any limit cash game out there. It's a boring grind that you can basically do on auto-pilot but it's easy money.
Tournaments you can throw the math out the window. This requires blunt force agression mixed in with amazing people reading skills. One of the reasons Limit Hold'em tournaments are not as popular then No Limit. Tons upon tons of more skill needed.
But like I said above....most people dont play anything other than No Limit. But the reason is any donkey can "think" they know how to play Poker buy picking up the fairly easy game of No Limit Texas Hold'em.
Why do you think the REAL WORLD CHAMPION is crowned over a Limit H.O.R.S.E. table

Godfather16, you're right. I've seen so many great hands postflop get beaten by the river-straight and/or river-flush card.
Weathered, when you say master the mathematics of poker, are you referring to the counting of outs and pot odds?
So in limit hold 'em, unless you are holding KK or AA preflop, is it better to be less aggressive preflop--as aggression won't get other players to fold anyway?
Thank you for the advice, everyone.

Before making a play, you should first analyze the situation and decide whether it’s positive or negative expected value. For example, a negative expected value would be trying to hit a draw on the river, without the correct pot odds. You’d can get lucky, but in the long run you’ll lose money with this play. A positive expected value play would have be folding, because you can expect to save money, which will add up in the long run.
Outs
Learning to calculate outs is crucial in poker. An ‘out’ is a term used to describe how many cards are left in the deck that can improve your hand. You can use this information to determine your odds of winning a hand.
Pot Odds
Pot odds is the ratio of chips in the pot compared to your actual odds of winning the hand. So let’s say you’re going for the nut flush draw on the turn, but you’re unsure whether or not it’s correct to call your opponents bet. Well if your odds to make your hand are better then the pot odds, then it’s correct to cal.
Implied Odds (you dont need this as much with Limit Poker)
Sometimes it’s correct to call a bet without being laid correct pot odds, because of the ability to make up for it on a later street. Usually this works best when you’re going for draws that aren’t to apparent, like double gut-shot straight draws. Implied odds come in to play a lot more in NL games

many times in limit with the odds you can chase and do OK, for ex, pair and a flush or straight draw, or a pair w/ a big kicker. Stay away from drawing to 2 small pairs as those have a way of getting counterfeited on the river.

every single time if you have odds you can "chase"
because if you are getting laid the right price your not chasing anything at all....your simply drawing to a mathimatical conclusion
you are either right to draw in limit....or your wrong to draw in limit
very little implied odds so it's basically cut and dry
