Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

So, I'm supposed to "crush" .25/.50 at iPoker 6-max for at least 5 BB/100 and for the first half of the month I was... but then the regs got used to me and I've levelled off.

Today I saw one of the regs at .25/.50 playing 20/40

Other regs from .25/.50 are multi-tabling across 1/2 to 3/6

Oh well. I suppose the silver lining is that when I get out of .25/.50, I'll stand a chance at the next level up.

In the meantime, I've started spending some time on PokerStars 'cos the .25/.50 games seem to be juicy no matter what time of day at the moment.

Lol! This is a level right?

We should try posting this on two-plus-two or the NHLE forums here. Should start a nice "debate"

Seriously though, the disciplines are so different. Much though I'd love to agree, cos then I'd make a fortune playing NHLE.

(Okay, so I'd have to claw my way out of micro LHE first )

yes, everything you disagree with is a level. What gave it away? The part where I said "i'm serious"?

Of course Demon on Fire works pretty well too

And fwiw I agree with Nina than LHE players tend to be better at adapting to other disciplines than the other way around.

Happy days!

I'm itching to play PLO but gotta get some momentum with LHE first.

10/20 Borgata 10 handed

Hero is HJ with K T

Preflop: 1 limp in front, Hero iso-raises, BB calls, limper calls

Flop (6 SB): Q J 3 (3 players)
BB donks, limper calls, Hero raises, BB calls, limper calls

I am willing to go approximately infinity bets on this flop 3 ways.

Turn (6 BB): A (3 players)
BB donks (lol WUT), limper calls, Hero raises, both call

River (12 BB) 6 (3 players)
BB checks, limper checks, Hero bets, both fold

Can anyone think of an even remotely reasonable hand for BB to play this way?
