    In Which The Limit Is The Thing It Is Taken To

    posted by Absinthe | 3:30 PM

    Limit tourney today. They’re an odd beast here - these fields are packed with players who don’t want to lay down bottom pair on the river facing a pot-size bet, so how can they do it when they’re getting 11 to 1? Early on the pots easily get that big. And why not? If I have a “playable” hand in level 1 or 2, you can be sure I’m taking a flop with it. The trick is to .. Actually, the trick is to flop big or draw out and get paid. Same as any other flop game except moreso, I guess. Probably a fast structure, but at least we won’t spend half the later levels waiting for people who failed Anteing 101 or Applied Don’t Argue With The Dealer.
