Not a whole lot of playing lately...
Well I have started dealing cards at a couple places in town and it is really cutting into the amount of time that I am spending playing online. One of the places that I am working I think I am going to quit in the near future. I am just not making enough money dealing there to make up for missing the online action.
I have been running better at the tables and I think that I am making some good plays. I started playing around with limit poker the last few days mostly to get in shape for playing prop at a casino in town. I don't really like playing limit but I do like how it makes you think about the game differently. Specifically, limit poker makes you think about every bet and, "saving bets" when you are beat. This concept comes in very handy when you are playing NL because it lets you lay down hands that you would normally call. At NL I sometimes struggle folding a hand when it's only going to cost me a small percentage of my stack to call, but when you play limit every bet made and saved counts toward your over all winrate (same holds true for NL but it is much more pronounced in limit). Limit poker is about playing mistake free poker to maximize your edge. NL is about making smaller mistakes than your opponents. If you add some of the limit ideas to your NL game I think that it is possible to increase your winrate substantially...
