no limit vs. pot limit

[msuduster]

I think both are pretty fun. I don't generally play PL but it's a good change of pace to NLHE.

i honest don't see how big different from NL and PL...
in both way you can even get to go all in.
just that u can't go all in preflop PL unless u got other player reraise you a big one.

those are great difference!!! if you played all in for example with KsKh and 2 players called and then the flop is AdJd10d maybe in pl if you have a short chipstack u will pushed all in preflop right? but if u couldnt do it u will raise the maximun and if the 2 players called and then u see that flop u could resign and fold..... thats a very good difference, doesnt it?

You have to all in preflop no matter what(if you have pocket kings) in no limit or pot limit (pot limit you have to bet pot), but yes if the ace comes on flop you can fold cheaply, but that is just bad luck you ccan't do anything about that. Personally i believe PL is a chasers game, and i don't like to play it. I especially hate limit.

yep i also hate limit holdem.... but PL personally its very good in holdem, better than NL also but thats my opinion..

congrats on the title pokerdog!
Sometimes if ive been having a bad streak with cards, and just been getting sick beats, ill take a break for an hour or so, and then ill come back and play some PL. Why? Because i find that it keeps me from pushing (obviously lol) and that I dont make HUGE calls with draws, and really it just keeps me from playing dumb and losing alot

yes and bad streaks in NL holdem will decrease a lot your bankroll... you know that better than me lol....if you play NL enter at the tables with the minimun of money and if you lose just add the minimun also...., and in PL enter with the money u want.
good luck at the tables....

maybe because you played at high limits and/or you have a good streak. i dont think playing limit holdem is profitable and also didnt think playing these game is exciting. bleffing is imposible so u only need luck in order to win. i cant stand limit holdem game!!
good luck at the tables

well. i believe in getting profit from limit is when you get good streak. or win at most of the hands when you play.
