No Limit Games

Hi,

I’m just curious, can you share to me what NL games do you typically play? I hope you don’t mind if I ask. By the way, how does the game change compared to lower limit games?

I want to find out how higher limit players think about the game in general. In our place, higher limits implies anything beyond $2.5-$5 NL. Any idea?

In advance, thank you.

Lance,

While I can play NL cash games, I still prefer NL tournaments over cash games. However, I do play more Limit Poker than NL in relation to cash games. The main difference in Limit as opposed to NL is that in NL the object is to win a players stack of chips.

In Limit poker, you object is to win pots and bet. Due to the structure, one or two winning NL hands can make up for an entire night of losses. If you have 3 or 4 losing hours in a Limit session, you will finish the night a loser unless you put in a long session.

Obviously the higher limit NL players love their games. For most the game is their livelihood and how they make their money. With higher limit games, bluffing and reading opponents becomes a requirement as opposed to a luxury.

Also, be prepared for wild swings in your bankroll due to the limit changes. You may have to drop back to lower limits if you do not do well.
