Limit Hold 'Em Crash Course?

[Foucault]

I'm probably going to play the FTOPS HORSE event tonight, and I'm pretty sure that Fixed Limit Hold 'Em is my worst of the games, and I want to put in a bit of a cram session. Two questions:

1. Which cash game stakes do you think will most closely approximate the quality of FLHE play in the HORSE tournament?

2. I've never watched any of the FLHE videos on Cardrunners. Any recommendations?

Much appreciated.

Never open-limp, never cold call a pf raise (except for 1 bet in the BB, always C-bet flop, when defending BB heads up check-raise when you flop _anything_, and don't fold the river heads up unless you're absolutely sure.

You are now ahead of 98% of the field.

Anyone who wants to win a WSOP bracelet should seriously consider LHE. The fields are about 1/4 the size and super soft.

1. Never open-limp. Rarely be the first player to over limp.

2. Opening Standards: These are tighter than what most good LAGTAGs would play, but have been tightened because you won't know how to play well postflop.
EP: AQo+, AJs+, KQs+, 99+.
3off: AJo+, ATs+, KQo, KJs+, QTs+, 77+.
HJ: ATo, A8s+, KJo, KTs+, JTs+, KJo+, 66+.
CO: A8o+, A6s+, KTo+, K8s+, T9s, QJo+, 55+.
BTN: A5o+, A3s+, K9o+, K6s+, QTo+, Q8s+, 98s+, T9o+, 44+.
SB(you can complete here too): Any ace, K5o+, K2s+, Q8o+, Q6s+, J7o+, J6s+, T6o+, T5s+, 86o+, 75s+, 65o+, 54s+.

3. Never be the first player to cold call. 3-bet or fold. This includes being in the SB. There are exceptions, but you won't go wrong playing this way.

4. After raising preflop, always C-bet heads up on the flop, most of the time 3-4 handed.

5. When defending your big blind, you should be defending a wider-range than you're used to than in NL. Check-raise your draws and top pair or better(mid pair as well depending on. Fire turn and river. Check-call your marginal hands down, esp. if your opponent's range look weak(no ace on board, raised for BTN or CO).

6. Value bet thinly.(This is harder, but you really need to value bet 2nd often)

7. I'll offer to table-sweat off and on while working tonight. PM YO!

What happens during the stud games if all 8 players see the river? Do they run out of cards or what?
