I think the main goal in a limit game is just to play smart and not make stupid decisions. You can't just play mechanically based solely on your cards, but it is much more mechanical than NL games.

Default 90/10

Both on Party and 3/6 B&M here in Seattle, I'm best off grinding it out. Playing "right" will inevitably make me more money than trying to get too fancy, or overthinking my opponets. There are exceptions more so, in B&M than online, but at least 90% of the time I'm playing by the book. Perhaps this is why I'm still at the lower limits!

Yeah, limit gets too boring for me, because i feel there is seldom a lot of action. I do agree though, that online with the number of fish it is very possibly to just grind out a decent amount playing 100% by the book, as long as no one else picks up on it. I like the feel of NL, where a player can push all-in whenever they want.

I LIKE the swings

Limit cash games are very mechanical. Play solid and play enough hands (anything can happen in the short run), and you'll win. Start getting cute, and all you are doing is adding leaks to your game.

My point though is that they don't pick up on it, THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION and over an 8 hour session playing cards 100 new faces come and go at any given lower limit table.

Thanks, I really think this to be true, now I gotta work on the mechanics a bit, quit losing the 1 or 2 extra pots/bets a session and all should be good next year, right?
