I know you guys are mostly NL players, so I'll risk getting slammed-
I always hear NL players talking about how that game is so much tougher than limit, and is way more of an art-form. Yes, I believe you must "throw away the math" sometimes, as the next decision could mean your entire stack, but...
LHE isn't only a simple "science," dominated by strict math decisions, as I hear so often. To be a truly successful limit player, very subtle concepts must be mastered. Since LHE isn't about snapping stacks, but instead, about winning every single bet possible, knowing when to push the tiniest edges are essential.
"I hate limit, because it's impossible to protect my hand," I hear over-and-over.
That just simply isn't true! Because you can't just move all-in, you must find more subtle ways to protect your hand... this is where the "art" comes in winning limit play!
What do you think? Agree/Disagree? Opinions?
