low limit poker
this is my opinion but i think its pretty accurate i think low limit poker (2/4) and under is for bad players i mean they run the worst hands to the river dont bother raising pre-flop because they call they dont concider pot odds or anything. The worst place for this is pacific poker since the straight draw shows on the board like 80% of the time. Thats why i stick to 3/6 and above id rather lose to someone outplaying me or having better hand then by some scrub that gets lucky!

Where are you playing?
I do not know where you are playing, but people play lousy hands at 5/10 and 3/6 also. I find people beating my pre-flop raised KQ diamonds with 75, getting 757 as the last 3 cards! What kind of crap is that? This is at 5/10! Just play at the highest level you can afford and expect bad players to keep paying you off.

Hell no, Hoss. Losing to a person who got extremely lucky is better than losing to a person who played smart. Not only did the WINNER just get lucky on me, but I didn't get outplayed by my opponent. That would piss me off even more.

I have to completely agree with Aequitas here. The hands that piss me off the most are the hands that I lose by getting outplayed. If I lose a big hand to a lucky river card I know that I outplayed my opponent and he needed luck to help him win the hand. The hands where I lose a big pot because I got outplayed are the hands that I walk around thinking about what I did wrong for the next week.

You can say Lou... Aequitas is a pain in the ass to write.

Well...same old thing: In the long run, bad players will lose money. So you hold KQ and he holds 75? He will outdraw you fairly rarely, and the times he does win justify to him to keep playing it...but the majority of the times youll win, and thus come out ahead. Just keep your bankroll high enough to sustain the beats.

kinda agree
guess i kinda agree with both i do hate when i get outplayed but that rarley happens not saying im the greatest or anything but since i mainly just play quality and not junk its kinda hard to outplay someone with the best hand. like my new article i wrote i could give you tons of examples where i lost 80 dollars all to river draws. But if you did get outplayed i can see where that can be agravating as heck.

personally i would prefer to get outplayed than rivered... getting rivered is out of my control, but getting outplayed is something that i can avoid in the future if i keep improving my skill, and theres no one to blame but myself, so i really dont have a problem with it.... or maybe im just saying that because it rarely happens and its easy to deal with getting outplayed every once in a while, and it isnt easy to deal with getting rivered several dozen times in one session.

Well, you say "it's ok to get outplayed everyonce and a while vs. getting rivered several dozen times in one session..." well shit, I definitely agree w/ this. But this isn't the original comparison because you changed *how many* times each occurance would happen.
I, during the course of one session, would either (i) get outplayed once, or (2) get rivered once ... which would I choose? Get rivered. So the other guy gets lucky: at least I played outstanding poker.

Don't knock 2/4!
2/4 on Party is my standard game. For me it is perfect -- just enough fish to chase hands they shouldn't but you don't find seven players still in after the turn the way you might at micro limits. Sounds like you had some bad beats, but there's no doubt that if you play tight pre-flop and aggressive post-flop that this is a profitable game.
Aside: Wow, the forum is really taking off. Dozens of new posts each time I check back. |

I wouldn't call it bad for players. People make money consistently from it so it shows that is does take some skill. You will take some bad beats, but if your bankroll isn't big enough to move up there not much you can do.

Low limit has its ups and downs, but its where beginners have to build up their BR. If your a good players, and play decent sessions (2-3 hours at a time, bad players shouldn't affect you too much).

of course i would also but in general wouldnt you rather lose to someone playing smart then lose to someone that had no buisness in the hand getting lucky with terrible pot odds?
