I started out as a limit holdem player and really miss the action from a few years ago. It seems limit holdem is gone for good. Pretty sad, imo. Still my favorite form of poker.
It depends on your definition of Limit Poker. I play in Oklahoma and my definition of Limit Poker is 3-6 or 4-8. I did get in a 5-10 game at Winstar once. Limit games can be found at Firelake Grand Casino and Windstar near Dallas. They will even spread 4-8 PLO8 w a kill if you can get enough people.
I do realize that some people's definition of poker is 20-40 but I have never seen that high of a game in Oklahoma. I guess you may find it in Vegas.
If you play online you can probably find games on poker stars. I am in the USA so I don't know what they have lately but they used to. I just looked on America's Card Room and they had a few limit games going but they didn't have many people at the tables.
You can find live games and they can be a challenge to play. Played and watch some games in Vegas where people were stacking chips. I really enjoy the game, don't mind playing SnG or cash tables.
I played limit hold'em and without a bad beat jackpot it was a dumb and boring game IMO. Pineapple is better variant...the thrill of Omaha with the legendary structure of NLH.
True, sometimes I ask myself this, because the tables are so empty, and lately there are few tournaments like that, and if there is still, in time that I do not see. The good of playing limit, and implementing a strategy is good sometimes.
In my opinion in limit holdem you find more action, yes, the game isnt as fast as nl holdem. How can some kind of poker be dead? Less popular - yes, but dead- no. I like limit games, more options to see flop and you can be sure less (zero, because its imposible) all-in-preflop players are involved there. its good choice even for experienced players.
The big problem is it doesnt attract new players/fish so whenever you play it you are playing against a bunch of smarties and grinders. So profit is difficult.NL is def. more exciting too, there is no arguing that.
a feeling when in one hand everything can happen from the departure to the chip stack! this limit holds hold'em and I consider it a boring game, but I can be wrong!
