Limit is the New Pot Limit

[Dice Man]

I am currently 3-0 at the new limit HU games. The old ones nobody ever played because it took too long, but they seem to have been adjusted to make them more turbo-like, and I am feeling very good about them. I pretty much haven't taken a single hit in one yet. I have only played the 3e games so far though so might be a bit early to tell yet. I have dispatched my enemies thusly so far:

I will update this thread when I stomp some more fish at limit.

[Dice Man]

4-0 now. Should move up levels for the next one. This guy had a pretty strange strategy. He had the check/fold box clicked a lot at the start, so I started raising every time he checked and taking it down. Then after a bit he realised this and so I started doing that when I had made a hand (as opposed to slow-playing which I do nearly every time I actually hit). Whenever this guy went down to 600 or less he would insta-raise at every street. Twice he did that and got back into the game, and the last time I crippled him, so he did this last hand. (all insta-raises)

So that's 2 defeated at 25/50 and 2 at 50/100. I haven't been stretched once yet.

[Dice Man]

5-0 to the Dice Man, and just dispatched the first in a 5e game. This guy was a complete joke, and bluffed at every single hand to the river, most of which I took down with high cards. Then this hand happened. Easiest win ever. Can't really be certain he was trying though?

lol, limit is funny. Especially on the river. Quality bit of play from your opponent there. I hope you suitably gg-ed him at the end.

[tfeilding]

I'm not sure I have the patience for limit - 19 betting someone must be a a drag.

It isn't when you have the nuts.

I said "gg sir" at the end, I reserve that only for the best players.

[Dice Man]

FFS just lost two I was playing at the same time. They boh became crapshoots in the end then they both got the nuts on me when it was basically forcibly all-in . Fuck this thread.

[Ihateflushes]

Im quite likeing limit stud at the moment.
Doing pretty well, up and down but never at a loss

A good break from hold ems usual river bad beats against crap players who get ridiculously lucky..
