Re: Why Limit?
As a limit and no-limit player, some things said here struck a nerve with me.
[ QUOTE ] Many decisions in no limit don't go beyond the flop. [/ QUOTE ] You must be talking about some small stakes 40BB buy-in or so no-limit game. A true no-limit game will often have all players in the game with 100BB or sometimes a lot more. With 100BB there's plenty of play after the flop given you have a decent stack. [ QUOTE ] Limit requires you to make good decisions more often than no limit. [/ QUOTE ] While you might have to make more decisions quantitatively, the quality of decisions are much more important in no-limit. Overused, but true mantra: One mistake can cost you your stack in no-limit. [ QUOTE ] All in on the flop and run out the cards to see who's the winner. Obviously, this never happens in limit. [/ QUOTE ] Careful of the use of "never". There are actually many times where a short stack or short buy is almost all-in and the flop/turn/river and even pre-flop decisions are affected by it. [ QUOTE ] Many "winning" no limit players are weak at the math part of the game. [/ QUOTE ] I actually agree with this. You can be successful at no-limit without being great at math. Being a math major and a winning no-limit player, I don't fall in to this bunch. Garland |
