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?

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]

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..
