To Limit or to No Limit. That is the Question.

Posted by photojake On June - 23 - 2008

I decided to give limit holdem a try.  When I first started playing online, I played limit.  I am not sure why I decided to play limit, but I was a winner from the start and never really looked back. 

I believe I started out playing 5/10 Limit at Paradise Poker back when they were the big site around.  I would play on there 5-max tables and I usually would only play very short sessions.  No longer than 1-hour.  It was fun and I could easily win $100-$300 in that time. 

The bad thing about limit is it is a pretty dead game online.  I looked at the limit games on FTP and there is only like 6-tables going at 5/10 and no tables above 20/40.  I decided to get my feet wet at the lowest limit tables they had.  It was fun and different than my normal no-limit games and it seems like a much easier game. 

I won like a whole $3.00 in about an hour at the .25/50 Limit game.  I think I can really get some good reads on players and get paid a lot on my hands that hold up.  I need to review my limit game more so I can work my way up to the 5/10 games again.  If I grin 6 tables of 3/6 and 5/10 I think I can make some good money in rake and win rate.   I still want to eventually get really good at no-limit, but for now I am really interested in just building my bankroll anyway I can.
