Question about Limit poker.

[2Tone]

Cool thread - I always appreciate threads that actually center around thinking/strategy.

As for pshabi's point, this might be the biggest difference between a full ring game and shorthanded. In my experience, even at a loose 2/4 tables, unless the player is a maniac, he's not going to three bet pre-flop with a low pair.

I'm not necessarily going to fold, but check calling makes much more sense here. If he has the inferior hand, I'll let him build the pot. If I do, I'm OK with checking it down. If I bet and he raises, I'm forced to likely throw good money after bad if I want to stay in.

I knew there was a great post on this and I went back and looked it up ... TP speaks the truth


This all said, I know I err on the side of being to tight/weak when I should probably be more tight aggressive.

Glad youl iked that post, even though I never did get around to writing that "article." I did go into more detail later in the thread though, if anyone would like to see it:


Like pshabi, I'm mainly a 6 max player, but I agree with what he's saying here. I'm betting/raising flops ALL THE TIME with my 99 overpair. It's the only way to find out where I'm at in the hand, and while it's still cheap.

Edit: P.S. Good memory!
