Default Re: Will my limit game improve?

i started with limit in 2000. played $20-$40 for a year back when that was a big game. wild games, very easy, big swings. pots were so big there wasn't much folding. then got hooked on no-limit.

biggest thing that helped me was physical reads. i started noticing big-hand tells. they didn't conceal their reactions. made many a ninja fold of top pair on the flop, no one the wiser. this had a huge effect on my earn, literally a good read would save 2 big bets. (spend 3-4 fewer but probably was wrong at times.) i wouldn't fold unless i was really confident about it. it happened often, like once every couple hours, a HUGE increase in expectation.

from limit biggest thing that helped me was Tommy's training. i folded blinds waayyyy more than S&M recommended, early position a little more, and played loosely on the button. played about 1 in 6 hands, most in position. that made for an easy position transition.
