You can get lucky in any poker game. If you lose 6 or 7 buy-ins with lots of bad play, how do you make up for it in one good hand (in PLO8/NLHE)? Please explain....
Yes, you can get lucky at anything. I didn't say you could make up for an infinite amount of bad play with one hand. But, in theory, in No Limit, you could win back 6 or 7 buy-ins on one big hand.
Why doesn't it happen in 'Limit'??
It doesn't happen in Limit because (under most rules) the biggest possible pot is 24 Big Blinds per player, whereas in No Limit you can easily win 100 BBs per player on a single hand.
Best players at 'what game' will always win at Limit ??
Obviously I meant that the best Limit Hold 'Em players will always win at Limit Hold 'Em. It's mostly a technical game of calculating the
odds, with a smaller element of hand-reading. Since you generally cannot bet enough to protect your hand or give bad odds on a draw,
bluffing is less of a factor in Limit, and consequently so is hand-reading.
How did you establish that there are fewer donks to take advantage of in Limit ??
Obviously, I can't prove this contention. If you are going to hold me to an impossible standard of proof, then you are going to win the argument, at least in your own mind. This contention is based upon my observations, as well as what seems logically to be the case.
I suppose this goes to the definition of the word donk. To me, the definition of a donk is someone with marginal skills who hopes to get lucky. This type of player wants to play games that offer long odds when they hit, like the lotto, like
slots. Thus No Limit is a more attractive game to them.
One writer says that you win at Limit because of the sum total of all the correct decisions you make in a session, and you win at No Limit by making correct decisions in big hands. Donks do better at making a few correct decisions than they do at making mostly correct decisions. Thus donks do better at No Limit, and thus more donks play No Limit.
