No limit is much better than limit cuz it requires actual skill. Whether it be mathematical calculations or reading people. Limit is a crap game cuz 9 times outta 10, no matter what the tard you're against has, he will call the minimum bet cuz that's all you can bet. You could have that retard dominated, like down to 1 out after the flop, and since you can't push him off that 1 outer, cuz he is a retard, he will hit on the river. Retards will thrive at limit cuz you can't go completely broke on one hand, as they very well should for being idiots.
I'm just saying limit lets people who have no business even playing have a chance to win. Cuz unless the limits are really high, noone can go broke from any single hand if they just cold call till they hit their 10/1 hand.
Here's a better way to look at it, IMNSVHO
... If said retard is calling for his one outer or 10/1 shot, sure, he will donk it out every 1 out of 10 times. He is sadly complacent and misled by the fact that, as you say, he will not go broke on any one hand. But eventually, he will look down at his stack after those 10 hands wondering where half his chips went.
The beauty of limit is that many small mistakes by calling stations will, in the
longrun, add up for your benefit. Think of it this way, if you had bet 4x or all-in, all the 'folds' are money you won't see.
Limit is much more of a science than No Limit. With Limit, selecting starting hands, calculating outs and pot odds are the most important basic skills. On the other hand, No Limit is much more of an art than a science. Sure, all the basic skills are necessary, but reading opponents and putting opponents on hands become much more important, as do implied odds. Becoming a good No Limit player requires mastering more of the intangibles.
Have to agree with all of this. I'd only add that while opponents are more difficult to read in limit, it's still important, and you'll get far more opportunities to do so, as you'll see a lot more showdowns while it's cheap to do so. And to continue on the 'longrun' idea, munkie, they're simply 2 different games, requiring different mindsets going in. Just as you're not going to make
them fold, they cannot make
you fold when the situation is reversed. Since it's harder to pull people off their hands,
you cannot make many stupid mistakes. With limit you are not simply calculating your
own outs and pot odds, but the same for your opponents to call should a flush and/or str8 draw flop to threaten your trips.
