PL vs NL

Colms · #1 05-10-2007, 01:32 AM

I've been playing in some Pot-Limit games every once in awhile just chasing around some really bad players. Other than the fact that you cant 3bet a little bit larger than pot oop, are there any differences between PL and NL I should know about? It seems like a bunch of the regulars in PL games cold call raises out of position with big pairs. Is there any reason for this?

to disguise the strength of their hands - tho reduces possible pot size on hand plus more players see the flop!

not much difference other than you cant bet/shove or shove draws sometimes etc. doesnt make much difference though.

I think position is a lot more important in PL games against skilled opposition, but there you go.

Nope no other real differences. The regulars cold calling with big pairs oop is just them being fishy because its PL, and not much else.

You cant overbet semi-bluff as easily and you cant overbet to defend your made hand against a super-draw on the turn as easily (think your set vs. op's OESFD)
