| Hopeless at Limit Holdem As you can see in the title limit holdem is my worst and least favorite game. I often let just pass by in mixed games. Lately I have working on my limit holdem because one I don't really feel I can be a complete player without it. Two there are very weak games around here and I want to make money at them. It doesn't help to have a game of fish when you are one of the fish yourself. I always seem to lose bigger then I win. What I need is to start over with this game. I need advice on where to look for guidance on this game. I am sure a new preflop hands system would be helpful. A guy I know was watching me playing teaching me to use only top ten hands. If that is the way go, great. While I never did anything wrong I never seem to make money either. I have other people give me differing advice nothing seems to work. I know I lose a lot of money on the turn. I don't let go as often as I should. It is tough for me to read people because it feels like no one defines their hand. I bet preflop they call, I bet on the flop and they call. Then it feels like "Now what?" While I am sure this is bad play on their part, it worse play on my mine to not be able to define what they have. I know a mechanical game does not mean an obvious game. It feels easier (to me) to be able to read someone in a No limit tournament because you can squeeze them and figure out where they stand. I am also certain that I am not playing my pot odds correctly at times. Sometimes I fold too much and die slowly instead of quickly. So I am reading Jennifer Harman's section in Super System 2. I had watched the Howard Lederer video many years ago, and read a couple books written by a guy named Ken Warren. So enough of me rambling on, to my question where do you recommend I start over with my limit holdem education? Any internet posts, books, etc. I would really like to hear from someone who likes limit and how they got started. I know there is no specific situation in this post, I have too many problems to list here. Thanks for any help you can offer. |

| I really don't play much limit hold, but one of the things mentioned above I also noticed. Suited cards tend to make it to the river more. If you have 4 people in the pot and you flop 2 flush cards to go with your 2 flush cards, you're priced in. So many AA KK type hands get cracked and get pissed. Its the nature of the game. |

One thing though. You seem to be wanting to learn limit just to be more well rounded. At the level most of us are at (including you I suspect) you would be better off specializing in one game/format that you enjoy and play well. Getting really good at say 6 max NLHE will be more profitable than being "average" at 4 different games. Don't sacrifice depth of understanding for variety of game play IMO. Good luck. |
