I like both to be honest, I like NL for tournys but have enjoyed Limit for cash only because I find it to be much more relaxing. Both have their positives, one nice thing that I have noticed in the live game, the ratio to D-bags to normal guys is about 1000% higher in the NL game
I played a few 40 NL games about 3 months ago, which is basically a 1-2 limit game. I was running into the same shit that you find online and in small limit games-CHASERs everywhere. BTW, I was so pissed at the online bullshit that I had to go live to see, if in fact, the bullshit continued-I think so, but that is another story. I've given some thought to the 100 NL, but from what I have seen, its not much different than the 3-6 limit game in general, except a little more loose on the preflop and of course, the looser games. In the end, I like the structured environment of the limit game because its cards and not bluff-well bluff as often (to win). From my one game 9-18 experience, I can say the bluff is there, but still more of a cards play environment. I guess what I am missing is the appropriate bet in the NL game as it relates to the cards, etc-and thats confidence. Whereas, in the limit game, you know the bet, its implication and the effect or expected effect of the raise. So, I just don't have the feel or meaning of the NL game bets down good enough to feel comfortable in the NL environment. This is what I am mulling over, how to crossover, if ever.
The NL game here is basicilly unplayable.
Tonight the boat is packed when i get there so i put my name on both lists and the NL game opened up 1st. I buy in for 300. This 35ish woman is buying most every pot. She plays awful but bets so much she rarely has to showdown a hand. A cute lil viet girl is next to me. She gets AA and after said lady raises it to 40PF she makes it 80 and the lady calls. Flop comes xAx and the viet bets 150 and the lady calls. turn is x and viet cks , lady bets 100 and viet goes all-in for maybe 250 more..Lady calls. she has 45os and hit 2 pr on the turn.
Not 3 hands later i get QQ after maybe 4 limpers i make it 60 and this other woman calls and the guy next to me who looks like he knows how to play calls also. flop comes 9 high and i bet 65, they both call. Turn is x and i bet 100. guy folds but woman calls that too. She cks the river and i figure wat the hell i jst turn over my QQ. she has 57os and hit 2 pr on the turn........
Boys i gotta tell ya im very proud of myself for maintaining control.
These fucking idiots watch high stakes poker and see Farha calling with any 2 and think thats how u play.
] I coulda choked the bitch right there on the spot.
A few hands later the limit table opened and i spenty the rest of the night until 2.30 am just getting back to even.
I never play NL here and every time i do i regret it.....
