Pot Limit: what are the key differences

[Specialwon]

Well, after my experience today, I'll add a couple of points of my own for posterity:

1. C betting is twice as risky. Of 11-12 c-bets (where I had whiffed), only one took the pot down cleanly. I found myself 2-barrelling, which I almost never do, just to avoid surrendering the pot.

2. That game is just suckout city. I got stacked twice today by JTo, once by an unbelievable gutshot on the river to beat my pair of aces, and once by an equally unbelievable float with just overcards. Both times they had bet the flop and called my flop raise. That, coupled with a number of other bad things today, makes me want to never play PL ever again!

Slightly off topic, does anyone else here play Ongame? If so, how do you find it?

hahahaha! Told you!

"More drawing to cinch hands and consequently more suck outs. And there is not a lot you could do about it."

I think the main difference is you have to make sure which game you're playing and how the slide bar is thereby affected, i.e.

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 9 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $6.10
BB: $15.00
UTG: $25.70
UTG+1: $25.40
MP1: $25.60
MP2: $25.30
MP3: $33.85
Hero (CO): $24.55
BTN: $25.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (9 Players)
3 folds, MP2 calls $0.25, MP3 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises all-in to $24.55</font>

Hero says "oh god, please fold, oh god please fold, etc"

Lol, I know that feeling. Always takes a round for me @ NL to stop driving the slide bar to the extreme right with one swift move.
