trying to play limit and going for $20 to $1000

[jimbo51]

i am going to try to build my $50 in rakeback that i got and build it to 1K by playing just limit

[Billy]

wow this is going to be tough!
I used to play limit and liked that poeple put money into the pot so much lighter than in NL but u have to be aware of the swings in limit holdem.
I tell u start out at the lowest limits available with 20$, or u be broke pretty soon.
As well u have to be sooooo disciplined to play tight enough + put attention to every single player to gain the max value on your hands.

as far as my experience goes right now I would say stick to micro NL with 20$ to grind out the 1k.

I dont know how good u are at limit but I wish u good luck anyway!

BR:$58
played a lot of .25/.5 limit mostly 4 tables and went pretty good

Hmmm, GL in the first place.
But I think Limit is more variance based than NL, and $50 BR is not good enough for PL .5. though everytime you risk only 8BB.
Hope you do well.

wow i always thought limit was less variance, i obv know nothing bout it lol

[jimbo51]

BR:$67


i switched to playing .05/.1 NL becasue limit was pissing me off and the rake was insane
played 4 tables and had no good hands just grinded it out.

NL10 is far away from BR requirements, don't get fancy. Play at least NL5
