A couple days ago, I cashed in in my first freeroll tourneys. Actually, it happened twice in one day. One of them was a NL holdem tourney and the other was a Fixed Limit Holdem tourney. This was probably one of the first (or maybe only) holdem fixed game I had ever entered, and I cashed. It took many, many times for me to finally cash in the NL scene.
I have been trying to figure out some reasons for the incongruity. My possible theories are:
1. Fixed limit requires you to bet more responsibly - Therefore, it is harder for me to make bad plays and requires me to play hands more slowly, seeing more turns and rivers.
2. Fixed limit requires you to bet more responsibly - Therefore, it is harder for opponents to donk on hands and requires THEM to bet more responsibly, thus allowing me to play more good hands.
3. Good run of cards + little bit of luck = cash in
Any thoughts, ideas, etc.? Just wondering if anybody thinks there may be something to this or if I'm just making stuff up.
