Hello everyone

I thought i'll give limit a try as it was fun when I played it live.
i can say it seems ultra soft on the site i play. SawFlop around 50, 60 is not a rare case.

Some special things i have to adapt coming from NL?

i wonder which limit i should play. I have about 1500$ from playing NL ... play 2$/4$ when i find a table as mentioned?

rakeback seems to be profitable here



Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $0.5/$1
4 players


Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with : :
UTG folds, Button calls, SB raises, Hero calls, Button calls.

Flop: , , (6SB, 3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, Button calls, SB calls.

Turn: : (6BB, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, SB calls.

River: : (9BB, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets , Button raises , SB folds and I?


Villain was unkown.

Wow a NL to LHE switch? Pretty rare .

I'd wouldn't say there's that many things you'd need to adapt coming from NL... Just some things to keep in mind. Don't rely on impled odds, you're not stacking anyone here when our gutshot hits. It's basically a lot about pot odds and little impled odds when it comes to decisions. And keep in mind you obviously have less controll over bet sizing and manipulating the pot.

Depending on what you want to play (full ring or shot handed) the general "guidelines" for BR requirements are: FR 300-500 big bets. The better you are and or less variacne style game you play the closr to 300 you can probably be. Also bear in mind that regardless of the guidelines you also need to consider moving down if you hit a bad run... Just because you have 300 BB's if youdrop half of that itm ight be worth considering dropping down a level.

Shorthanded games are usually more aggressive and has bigger variance, I think 500 BB shoould be considered the minimum for SH play. It's not all that hard or uncommon to drop 200 BB faily quick in a few SHLHE sessons.

Of course those numbers are just basic guidelines and as far as I'm concerend LHE kicks ass when it comes to racking up bonuses and unmentionable.

As far as the hand, I think I like 3 betting better here to try and get the button out. But with no reads I can't completely hate just calling either. I don't know how long you've been at the table but if it was JUST the villian (button) who was unknown I like 3 betting better here. If you just sat down I can see just calling.

Flop and turn are standard.

River: The problem is we're playing an unknown and the pot is a decent size... Since I don't kno if he's a blufftard or not I don't think I can fold, getting 12:1 against an unkown... But then again I love to pay off on the river . A safer route, although we may miss a value bet is to just c/c the river aginst a complete unknown. But that's just some rambling thoughts to consider.... IF it were me in this particular spot I'd check the river, for the simple fact my opponent is unknown and I'd like to start to get a read on him. Basically I want to see his hand.... Whether it's looking at what he mucks or what he shows down I want to know what he's playing here for future refrence. A c/c line gives us all that info... If we knew the villian a little better and he's a relatively straight foward player and dosen't really make any moves I'd take the bet fold line.
