Can someone please find a couple good links or give some good tips on the differences between limit and no limit HE.

I have 26 bucks on the line and don't want to lose it!

Anybody there? Cardschat members assembllllllle!

Not doing too badly over here I nearly doubled my starting stack.

Very little time to read several books, I guess. In limit, bet the cards instead of the people. Towards the end (final table), limit becomes more like no limit anyway.

Where are you?

You found me

I am really just going by feel, it is a very interesting game. I am playing tight but drawing a little more with nice pot odds.

Lucky, I have had an amazing run of cards.

In 40 hands I have had KK, QQ twice, JJ twice, AK, AQ twice, AJ suited twice, and KJ suited twice.

I am currently in 5th place out of 97

What happened was, I searched the name of a premier online poker player in order to rail him, and it turned out he was entered in this tournament. With 30 seconds left it was still way under the 3K guarantee. So i sign up with a great payout structure and then we get seated immediately. It was then that I realized that it was a limit tourney.

I might have to search this one out some day. Limit is my game.

But wait, there was no overlay in this tournament!

I had no idea how to play short stack limit hold 'em. Folded to me with a tiny Mzone and A8 i decided to raise from MP, and someone picked up AQ.

Wow I am never playing limit again

Quick read anything by FPaulsson on this site. He's the resident pro on limit.

There seems to be alot of people who join a limit tourney and dont know it. I think they concentrate on the number of players and the large prize pool. Then they get mad, I have played them before. They raise and re raise and rasie over and over till they are out of chips. They are always sayin I hate this limit crap!! Heh...
