So I've become more and more interested with Limit Holdem. I've been watching the tables on full tilt from the $10/$20 all the way down to the .25/.50 to get an idea for how the real money games are being played all while playing the 200/400 play money 9 man tables just to get more of a feel for things before I jump into the real money side of it all. I was playing 6 man tables but I have found that a wider range of cards become more appealing to me on a short handed table causing a huge leak in my game. From what I've noticed it seems as though the .25/.50 games play tighter and there are less people in the pot than in the higher levels. I found that rather odd but that's where I've got to start so that's what I've been watching the most of.
Anyway, my biggest question is when to chase and when not to chase draws. With limit you always have odds to call (or so it seems) but I seem to have a knack for chasing when I shouldn't and folding when I should chase. I've been keeping notes on the players at my table so I know when I'm beat on the flop or when my opponents are chasing as well. There are times though when I find it difficult to detect when a player that is chasing catches up (not with straights and flushes but with two pair or a set).
Any help, tips, or suggestions for limit would be greatly appreciated.
