Cashing In

A couple days ago, I cashed in in my first freeroll tourneys. Actually, it happened twice in one day. One of them was a NL holdem tourney and the other was a Fixed Limit Holdem tourney. This was probably one of the first (or maybe only) holdem fixed game I had ever entered, and I cashed. It took many, many times for me to finally cash in the NL scene.

I have been trying to figure out some reasons for the incongruity. My possible theories are:

1. Fixed limit requires you to bet more responsibly - Therefore, it is harder for me to make bad plays and requires me to play hands more slowly, seeing more turns and rivers.

2. Fixed limit requires you to bet more responsibly - Therefore, it is harder for opponents to donk on hands and requires THEM to bet more responsibly, thus allowing me to play more good hands.

3. Good run of cards + little bit of luck = cash in

Any thoughts, ideas, etc.? Just wondering if anybody thinks there may be something to this or if I'm just making stuff up.

Well done, Flash.

I'm afraid I have very little experience of Limit Holdem and can't offer you an answer to your question. Congrats on your success, tho.

Personally, I quite like Pot Limit Holdem. This form of the game prevents the all-in pre-flop donkeys from being an annoyance, but the post-flop play is sufficiently similar that NL players like me have no problem adapting. Unfortunately, it's not much played, even though most sites offer it.

WTG Flash. Congrats on cashing. Fixed limit does require more discipline. But, at the same time that it keeps down bullies and typical donks, it allows for lotto players who raise on anything in a hit or miss situation that can at times be harder to dodge than when someone slaps an All In at the table.
Keep it up! Good luck.
