Zoiks!

Thanks for these.

As soon as I digest them in I shall comment further.

Good to see some high stakes hands on here, if only for a bit of variation.

Is the standard tough at these levels?

Yeah the standards definitely very tough. There are a few players seem to always win lots of money. On the other hand there are some crazy players and people that, although you don't chase round the tables, you don't mind playing against so much...

I'm no limit expert, but is it dangerous flatcalling the preflop raise with the aces in that first hand?

I did raise preflop, but flat called the re-raise. 4 betting seemed unnecessary to me there :)

How come?

(I'm rubbish at limit. Need educating.  :blonde:)

thanks very much for posting these

are you (sorry for my ignorance) mainly a limit cash player or is it other disciplines as well?

why limit cash rather than NL or PL cash?

What mindset do you need to have to be a Limit cash player, as it must be so difficult to protect your hands from draws hitting etc....do you need to change your thoughts about starting hand values?


sorry for the questrions, a complete limit rookie here!

I'd say because that would be akin to actually saying i have aces or kings.

^^ yeah thats basically it snoopy

...i built up my roll playing heads up STTs then got into high stakes limit just outta nowhere. I play it because it's the biggest game on the site. NL ring games I'm not so good at I don't think, NL is best left for tournies where I'm concerned. Limit is sick, you have to be prepared to get sicked on any given hand. Hand values depend entirely on the number of players. For full handed games you have to play tight, short handed you have to know when to loosen up...basically the best way to learn how you should play is to play and work out what makes money and what doesn't....

ah your clubber from blue sq. who sits on the highest limit table all day long with no one to play with most the time! i've watched you a couple of times lately. your current bankroll says it all really. 8)

nah i'm 'mcepitome', but i do play clubber a lot and he's had a ridiculously good week

I have watched Clubber alot,,, and must say he gets VERY lucky!!

But then what do I know about Limit - give me the $10 $20 n/l anyday!!!

i saw him go from 6 to 60 grand in about an hour a few days ago.
i think i recognise the name mcepitome from browsing the higher limit tables too though.

mc - Have you ever played a player called voipinc?  I was playing him on 3/6 NL the other night and he kept going all in preflop for $450 then announcing his hand in the chat box, 78 os etc.  He gave up after 4 buy ins then stopped.  I promptly added him to the buddy list and then today i saw he was playing $150/$300 Limit!  I guess he was just blowing off some steam in my game or is he just a rich bad player?

And right this minute he's doing it on the 5/10 NL tables.  All in EVERY hand preflop.

where is this happening ?

surely it's a wait for AK or better then call situation ?

sounds ideal to me - maybe I'm slow.

yeah lol, i assume voipinc has money to burn. He plays about 95% of hands dealt even at 150/300.

i've also played him at a few $2000 STT heads ups, he plays much tighter in those oddly lol...
