Re: Winning in Tough Hold \'em Games
[ QUOTE ]
Why would anyone want to play in a tough game?

It's a question of win rate.
Do you want to play 10/20 and make 3 bb/hr, or 40/80 and make 1 bb/hr?
You can make more money at the higher table, but you have to have the BR & skills. Of the two, the BR is the easy part.
Sorry Mason, but I also have given up limit for NL. I am not, however, foolish enough to belive that it is "forever."
Your old conjecture is still true - The fish go broke faster a NL than at limit. Modern capped buy-ins have slowed the money hemorage from a gush to a spurt, but eventually the suckers will bleed to death faster than they can be replaced with newbies.
At that time the pros will all have to take up limit poker again, because that's what the fish will all be playing.
Now what form of limit poker the fish will be playing is anyone's guess, but if it's limit hold'em then we'll all end up buying Stox's book.
Personally I think it will be HORSE or SHOE, in which case we'll have to buy the book anyway.
