Title: Questions about limit play Post by: BigSoti on June 14, 2008, 09:06:13 AM Hi Guys, was playing a bit of Limit Hold em this morning which is unusal for me as I normally play NL cash games. The following hand occured and I'm wondering what the regualr Limit players on here make of the way I played it and whether or not I got maximum value from the hand.

But I would deffo bet the river for value with one customer let alone two.

Title: Re: Questions about limit play Post by: Nem on June 15, 2008, 11:36:38 AM You should bet this river, in this situation, approximately 100% of the time.
