Re: why do people play limit hold em?
I started with SNGs and $25 NL full ring and lost half my deposit. I had a couple of good sessions at live 3/6 and decided to play limit to even out the variance from playing MTTs. After 3000 hands of .25/.50 and doing pretty well, I started playing some NL 6 max cash games. I'm doing pretty well and noticed my play has greatly improved, due in part to playing limit.
I'm still undecided as to which form of cash game I'll play. As for why I like limit:
1. I can play mechanically, helpful when I'm tired from working all day.
2. If I hit a draw on the flop, often times I get the odds to call to the river.
3. As a beginner, I'm not worried about losing my stack to a bad beat.
4. It's fun to jam the pot with 2 overs, nut flush draw, gut shot nut str8 draw and get there.
