Re: Limit Holdem can only be profitable with high stakes vs. no limit ?
[ QUOTE ]
Is it correct to say that if I really want to make some good real cash playing Limit holdem I have to play the medium/high stakes were you won't get that many chases to river and lose to bad beats less often? (get what I am saying, its almost impossible to win at the low stakes .25/.50 or 1/2 so many callers & chases) [/ QUOTE ] I dont play limit so i cant really comment too much on your question but i believe that your quote above is untrue. You want people to chase to the river and you want to be losing to bad beats. This means you got your money in when you were ahead. This is what will make you $$ in the long run. You will find it harder to make money at the larger games as there are less players willing to chase.

ok, does anyone have an idea at around what stakes of Limit Holdem do you have to play to make a decent hourly rate something like $10-15/hour?

[/ QUOTE ] Don't know if about 4,000 hours is enough hours logged to have any meaning whatsoever but I played 3/6 limit which was the lowest game spread at the casino I went to (every now and then I would sit at a 6/12 limit table but not enough to be statistically meaningful) and I averaged $14/hour during that time (since I was brand new learning, I had some real swingy sessions for awhile also). No clue at all how typical this may or may not be. I played like it was my job, going every day for at least 8 hours. Learned who other regulars were and how they played and learned to pick tables. The hourly rate average included monies won for things like "Aces cracked, win a rack" which added a bit to the figures. Didn't get rich but it sure helped a lot to make ends meet.

[/ QUOTE ] That depends how many tables you play at once, and on your win rate. An expert might be able to win that much at $0.50-$1 playing 4 tables, or at $2-$4 by playing 2 tables.
