No-Limit v Pot-Limit

[Newmanseye]

It has been said that you get a guy in from the street, put him in a pot limit comp and he's dead money. Put him in a no limit comp and he's dangerous.

Can't remember who said that, but I tend to agree.


Don't get me wrong, to play N/L still requires a great deal of skill, but the clueless moos still stand a chance. Probably because there are more desicions on more streets in P/L dumming down the luck factor.

OK last chance, you say that again and I will report you to a mod!!!!


Just kidding mate, I am only voicing my opinion, I do respect yours and everyone elses, I just happen to think that in No limit the dead money is easier to pick off if you play it well enough.

Case in point, I will refer you to the cash game we played at cincins way before christmas, Old robert was dealing and 3 or 4 blokes came in off the street  sat dow with us all at the table, I was up about £500 by the end of the night and these guys done their money not because they were unlucky but they were out matched.

The table had you , MikkyT , Nick ( ginger haird dealer ), Andrew and me on a table.  WHat bloody chance did they have. None thats what chance only because with enough skill you can reduce the luck factor in NLH.

I also remember what made it easier was these guys only had one gear, The phrase fish in a barrel comes to mind.

That was a great night

I still think i'd be able to clean out a newbie a greater % of the time playing P/L than N/L though. When the cards run right, I'm not denying that it's a lot quicker at N/L though.

I'm not a big N/L or P/L cash game player so have no extensive records. I'd be keen if someone on here who does could share with us their N/L cash variance vs their P/L cash variance. I'll wager that the latter will be lower.

It was  great night.  good times ( sigh)


However you have me at you mercy with math once again, The Variance will be lower with pot limit, that much is true, however parting a fool with his money is so much quicker in No limit.

Let's stick to N/L then, win the dosh in time to have a spot of lunch.
