Is Limit Hold \'em Dead?
I jest, but it's gotten to the point where I spend more time reading the high stakes NL forum than this forum. I don't play no limit and have no plans to take it up any time soon. Just much better poker discussion over there.

this forum has sucked for a long time, complacency? [/ QUOTE ] I think that's part of it, although I think the complacency may be coupled with the fact after a certain point a player becomes hesistant to give up too many of his "secrets". I know that I've gotten more and more reluctant to share certain discoveries that could potentially make the games tougher, or reveal something important about how I play. Needless to say, it's also the case that a lot of good limit posters/players have moved over to the dark side.

I was contemplating learning nl... word is that they pull 6 figures a month, where as we (those of us who are not yet on the 300/600 level) only pull half that on a good month.... I've heard it's easier money.... thoughts???

Re: Is Limit Hold \'em Dead?
Seems to be a ton of great limit players just don't post anymore or very rarely. It's sort of a shame but I totally understand it too. It is possible to outgrow these forums and I think a lot of people have a close network of fellow high stakes players they talk about stuff with in person or on AIM or whatever. Also the 2k NL players on Party that post in HSNL definitely seem more vocal than the 100/200 limit players who lurk in these forums. Not sure why that is.

Re: Is Limit Hold \'em Dead?
more fish, fewer sharks, no one really cares that much about improving the few sharks since there is such a high fish/shark ratio. makes for better discussion.

I think this means that people are more willing to share things because they're more intellectually engaged and are still learning more themselves.

10/20 NL is not neary as big as 100/200. [/ QUOTE ] then why do they require similar bankrolls? i think diablo nailed it. good limit hold'em is just not that interesting most of the time. once you get to the point where you can play good limit hold'em there's no need to discuss 99.99% of situations

[/ QUOTE ] I think 10/20 is slightly bigger than 100/200. 5/10nl is roughly 30/60 or 40/80, using rough analogies like winrate and bankroll. I don't think there is much discussion about 5knl+ because party doesn't spread it. FWIW, I've been thinking about learning limit, if only to eventually play nosebleed stakes live. Also, limit seems "funner" - more information, play 3 streets every time, etc. NL tends to go ch ca, ch ca, bet ca; or bet, raise, allin - booooring. also, nl won't be popular forever, the fish are dying [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
