A brief foray into limit holdem

[lightfungus]

Well I have no poker tracker, but maybe I have played 1k hands??? 6 max, 2/4 (above my roll, but the only one that clears the bonus effectively.) I wasn't playing good poker by any means. I am surprised at how much my mindset needs to be adjusted for limit or NL, i dont know how you switch back and forth TP. I cant be helped at the moment, Im running back to NL.

Everyone can be helped.... especially when they are moving to 6 max limit.

Poker Tracker would be a good start.

Here's a basic 6-max pre-flop guide that I wrote for my friend:

AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs – always raise, 3-bet, cap
AKo, AQ, KQs, AJs, TT, 99 – raise, 3-bet, don’t cap but call if it gets capped
88, 77, AJo, ATs, KQo, KJs, QJs – raise if limpers or if nobody has entered the pot, fold if pot has been raised before you
66, 55, ATo, KJo, QJo, KTs, JTs, QTs, -- raise if nobody is in pot, call if limping before you
44, 33, 22, KTo, QTo, JTo, T9s, AXs, -- call if limping before you, otherwise fold

Well I know it's early, but I'm already up $20 at 1/2 limit on Titan going by this, so thanks.

Sidenote: I'm raising limpers with ATo, KJo and K10s as well.

I'll chuck KTo and QJo preflop if there are limpers usually. I don't think they have enough value. I'll limp after others with j10.


This is consistent with another chart that I have. It's an excel file, not really sure if I can post it, but if you PM me your email addy (not just sjay, but anybody) I'll be happy to attach it and send it to you.

Bah, now if only I had a chart to help me avoid crazy suckouts. Turning Broadway, only to get flushed by 82s on the river?

[Talking Poker]

I'm a bit more aggressive than both of you, I think. But quite honestly, I'm not sure that's better. I think I like tossing KT and QJ after a limp... usually I raise with those.

[PShabi]

I open raise them for sure.

But, I just don't like the way they play multiway.

I used to raise those too.

Seems WAYYY tight, but thats not a bad thing necessarily. So if I raise in with my JTd and I get re-raised do I then call no matter what since I have already committed the two bucks or do I fold?

[Aequitas58]

Yes.
