To all aspiring limit players

[blutarski]

poker's a lot more fun when you're not grinding your dick off. Mutilate yourself while you read BBV4Life instead.

That sounds more like a thinly-vieled beat to me. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I only played limit because I kept getting told that limit is where the money is. I made some coin, but was bored to tears, so I gave up on poker. When I decided to go to NL I realized that it is more fun, and more profitable. I currently play NL tourneys almost exclusively.

I have actually switched back to limit, no limit is certainly more profitably, but I happen to enjoy merciless and inhumane torture upon my soul

After 5 months of switching back and forth I finally realized that I play poker for the challenge and not the money. Now I have switched to singletabling limit and made a quest there.

The obvious answer is to play whatever you like the most or feel the most comfortable with. For me, I love limit to death. I just like the way it works. Passing back and forth the initiative, jamming for free cards, multiway pots... It has also afforded me a very large income and I'll admit that that's likely half the "fun" I feel with limit. It's fun to see your account go up. But at the same time I can donk around with my friends at a low-limit live game and have a ball. It's just a fun game. Honestly NL is very boring in my view. You have to play 8 tables just to get any action or interesting hands.

Long story short, even though I am potentially encouraging future sharks at the limit tables I have to honestly say don't sell limit short. The fact that there is big money to be made by sharks doesn't explain why NL is more popular. It's the FISH who keep a game going, not the sharks. For whatever reason a fair number of fish want NL today, probably because TV told them it's some kind of luxury vehicle of poker. But it's not guaranteed to always be like that.

Poker is so much bigger now that even though some feel limit is "dying" (or losing percentage-wise) relative to NL, the whole poker economy is growing so much that limit is actually bigger than ever before. 10 years ago 20/40 was a monster game. Even 2 years ago 300/600 online was gigantic; now 500/1k and 1k/2k go regularly. You can only sit at one table at a time (or 6 online) and for sure there will always be open chairs you can sit at. But if you find you just can't make a go of it after hundreds of thousands of hands then I would say it's just not meant to be, and you should try something else.

I wouldn't recommend tourneys for huge profits, but if we're talking just pure enjoyment of the game, for me tourneys are the ultimate.
