Binary 0 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 What are the differences between limit and no-limit as it applies to gameplay? I am not asking the rules, I am aware of them. I mean, what type of player favors which? What type of play is favored? Why would anyone choose one over the other? Why isn't one exclusively favored by professional players?

HurricaneKyle 0 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Two entirely different games. You need a different approach to play both well. I will tell you right now that I can't play good No Limit and Limit simultaneously. I'm capbable of playing both quite well but never at the same time.Personally, I think No Limit requires more discipline than limit. You can get away with calling in some hands in limit that you would never dream of calling in a No Limit game. Likewise there are some bets you can make in No Limit that make no sense in Limit play.Keep in mind in limit, the worst thing that can happen to you is that you lose another bet. In NL, one bad call often can result in you losing your entire stack. Hand values are also different. In limit, unpaired high cards play better than the lower to medium pairs. In No limit the unpaired high cards don't play as well, while the lower to medium pairs play better. According to Doyle Brunson, if you are showing a hand down you need a better hand in a No Limit game than you do a limit game. Link to post Share on other sites

Discipline is the key. Unlike NLHE, where you can make up a mistake in one hand, limit requires much more discipline in choosing where and when to play hands, because of relative position and strength of hands. This is something NLHE players never seem to get. Its also the game where the majority of professional players make their bread and butter. Link to post Share on other sites
JFinn08 0 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 The guy has 9 post, he is obviously new. Give the guy a freakin break. Try startegy OP, its a kinder more gentler crowd in there. Hurricane has a nice reply too. Believe it or not if you feel like sorting through pages of 16yr olds getting hard ons from making fun of people, sometime you can find some worthwhile stuff in general.Good Luck, and welcome aboard 8) Link to post Share on other sites

This is something NLHE players never seem to get. Its also the game where the majority of professional players make their bread and butter.Not inclined to agree. While yes, you can compensate for a mistake in NLHE in one hand, you can just as easily make a catastrophic mistake and be gone, or broke. Then, you're forced to dig into your pocket for a new rack vs simply conceding the $50 or whatever you lost overplaying a limit hand. NLHE doesn't require less discipline, that's for sure. Of course, the implications of different stakes matters gravely, too. Link to post Share on other sites
