During the odd HORSE game I play, I'm getting to the stage where the rounds I'm noticing my biggest variance is the holdem round.

Obviously, I'm used to playing NL, so I often tie myself up in knots because of the limit differences & pot odds & all that.

I know in limit the idea is that because you're going to the river more often, then you want to play hands that can draw to the nuts. 

Single pairs are to be played as a small hand, therefore keep the pot small.

Last night, to try to reduce the variance during these rounds, I played ducks bum tight when oop.  This meant that once I folded AJo, when I was one off the cutoff, because there had been an early call & mid player raised.

I think blinds were 80/160 so the betting rounds were 160/ 320 ( does that sound right ?).   The pot had 720 in it, & it was 320 to call, so I'm getting good odds to play.

But because there were still a few guys to play, & because I couldn't easily see what I wanted the flop to be, & because I assumed that there was some kind of made hand & a good drawing hand out there, I thought that, even if I flopped a A or a J , then I'm only going to get pushed off it on the later rounds.

So I wimpily folded.

What should I have been thinking, & how do you play this sort of hand in limit ?
