A thread dedicated to poker talk for loungers. Tell us your beats, brags, when you want railing in a tourney, your graphs, your goals. Anything about poker, big or small.

I don't play anymore. No limit hold'em has killed all the games I actually enjoy, which are limit hold'em, stud, razz, and omaha 8.

I hope when the next recession hits it kills no limit again.

I just moved back to limit after a failed attempt at NL. I'll admit it - I don't have the cojones to play NL. But the variance in 6max limit may very well be giving me an ulcer.

Huh? Limit's still got a hell of a lot of life in it. I'm planning to go back to it at 10/20 once I'm way overrolled for it from NL.

I wish Alobar posted in this forum. He's a limit guy, I wonder how he's doing these days with so many of those games drying up.

My play is listed to a Monday night home game (have posted about his in Home Poker) and the occasional trip to CAZ.

Don't have anything too nutty to report off the top of my head other than something I mentioned in B&M once that happened at CAZ: a friend of mine seated to my right made a royal flush on the turn (heh, he couldn't help himself, he had to show me). A guy sitting across the table kept pumping up the action. The river paired brought another king and he was betting like a madman. God we were hoping so hard for quads so we could take down the $10K or so big beat jackpot, but no...he had pocket jacks and that river gave him a boat. So close.

I don't hate it. It hates me.

I didn't realise limit was drying up. Is that why NL is so tasty lately? I assumed it was because neteller have been paying out to people.

Will anyone here volunteer to smack me whenever I move up to chase losses? Please. It'll be mutually beneficial. You get the pleasure of no retaliation for smacking me, and I don't donk off my bankroll like an idiot.

I've actually been paying the bills the last few months playing poker...but I'm still under -rolled because I have to keep taking money out! I play Full Tilt 50NL (seven-tabling) every day and 1/2NL live about three times a week.
