Default Re: Thoughts on Spread Limit Poker??

I agree with Percula.
The lesser the spread the more like Fixed Limit, the bigger the spread more like No Limit.
I play 2/10 and 4/20 here in MN at the Indian casinos and it plays very similar to a limit game.
Preflop since it's only $2 to see the flop I like to limp in with speculative hands like 44 and 89s from late position hoping to hit big flops. If you limp and someone raises max It's usually right to just fold.
Postflop if nobody raised preflop, you can usually bet max and others don't really have the odds to chase unless they have a really good draw but they oftentimes still do.
If many see the flop for like $8-10 preflop, they will have the odds to call down for one bet with many draws so it becomes just like a limit game.
You can protect your hand a bit more than a typical fixed limit game because if someone bets max and then you raise max with your flopped 2 pair or trips it is very doubtful that someone will cold call those 2 large bets with only a mediocre draw. Also since the bet never doubles on later streets it's usually not a good idea to chase because you won't get paid off as much when you do hit.
