Confessions of a Limit Hater

[eejit101]

Played another few hands today, a few bucks up. still going strong.

I was hoping this post would bring about a more meaningful debate, not just people saying i wont be able to sustain it, as i know i wont, but i can try

There really can't be any debate, we don't have enough of a sample to know which game you're better at. I'll say this though, if you're confident and feel you have a good grasp of the game right now, you might as well stick with Limit for a while.

I do feel confident, id say ive played 10k hands now

What exactly were your hopes for a debate? If you are at that winrate at 100K hands, I'll surmise that you are a great player. At 10K, too small of a sample size.

Agreed... and I can't even imagine what else you expected us to debate....

[eejit101]

debate topics...

The differnce in stlye needed for playing each
The amount per BB you can win and keep winning on each
How many hand you need to log to have a good idea of how your doing
Umm, why people play one instead of the other.


Everything!!!

Figured we needed a debate


And as i said, im not trying to brag, im just winning, and playing well. Figured id try it for a while

Well, I defintiely didn't get that you wanted to talk about all of that from your initial post. Seemed a lot more like a "Hey everyone - Look at me!" post to me, with you possibly asking for a reality check ("any serious things you should know")...

As for the newly suggested topics, each one is large enough for it's own thread, but quickly:

1. Major differences: not just "style," but fundamentals.
2. NL isn't really measuered on BB/100. For limit, it varies depending on the limits you are playing, but anything above 0/100 is winning, so the higher above that, the better. I think 2 BB/100 is good, and 3+ is very good.
3. A lot. 50k minimum. 100k would be better.
4. Personal preference? I play both, so I can't really speculate about anyone else.
