Pot Limit vs N/L
 

Give me your views on which one you prefer?

How about for a beginner?

I'm asking this cus I just entered by mistake a Pot Limit Freeroll (which is taking forever, I might add)@ Royal Vegas btw; but I think I'm doing much better than when I play N/L; weird huh?

Edit: It might also be thx to Pshabi's poker video clip, good teaching tool.

Remember, pshabi's clip was for 6 max LIMIT. This is a HUGELY different game than full rin NL (or PL).

IMO, PL is more complex than NL. It's played a lot differently from NL than most beginners assume. Building the pot, etc. Even bluffs are much different.

There was 10 max in this one I was playing.

It's over now; came in 2nd place :(

Sounds more like Play Money than a freeroll? Why does it say "Real Money" on the HH, I wonder?
