I have most always specialized in NL Hold'em tournaments, but in order to clear a pending bonus (fulltiltpoker) i decided to play limit Hold'em ring games. I started at $3/$6, and had a pretty tight strategy. I won a few K, then all of the sudden everything went wrong. I ended up losing my bankroll after cashing out numerous times, and re-filled my account at FullTilt. I took a few weeks off, and when I came back I still couldn't win at all.... it could be a horrible run, because my cards just always get outdrawn, and all, but I also could have a wrong strategy. I found out you can't really play rock-tight in a limit hold'em game because the blinds just eat you up, and you don't hit enough to play "check-fold when you miss", but that interferes with my promise to stop trying to steal pots in limit because you get called down too often. I cannot find a healthy strategy and ANY advice would be helpful. Thanks.

read Small Stakes Holdem by Sklansky, Mallmuth, and Miller

or bad post?

just buy this

please

Ok i'll try and get that book, thanks for the suggestion.

If you plan on playing limit, dont try and get the book. Get it, read it, reread it... Go over each section over and over until you can quote it.

Then, read it again. (if you're someone like me who needs to read things over and over to get things to sink in)


Thats pretty much all you need

could be a cold run of cards, a while back when I was playing sshe(3-6) live I went on a long losing stretch and it was killing me, I couldn't for the life of me figure out the leak in my game. Finally realized I was playing fine and just getting sucked out. Majority of hands I had the best of it coming into the river and would get sucked out. That life, as long as you're making correct desicions you'll come out ahead long term.
