Help! Want to Jump into 30/60! Never played limit. - Page 2 - High Stakes Poker Forum

Could you give the reasoning behind this? I don't understand why top players would revert back to a game with a largely fleshed out game tree & small edges rather than a game that is less figured out like nl 27td.

Was joking. Game of the future is/was/& always will be Omaha. The future never comes, though.

Oh, all of them are huge degenerates a badacey is boring. Hence LHE is what all the cool kids will play. Solved? The bodog 60/5 crushers have redefined the game. Check out the sssh lc thread for details.

Same with 30/60, the first time I took a shot, I was nervous/intimidated but quickly realized these guys aren't *that* good. There are definitely some very good players there, but it's like 2/5 (or any game, really). If you find the weaker players and target them while playing cautiously against the good ones, you'll be fine.

Sadly I'm 0-3 in taking shots in the game. 7 hours logged and -$1,600.

just here to warn you that the logic "players arent really any better at the next bigger limit, its just different donks playing for more money" breaks down somewhere around 100/200, when you sit in the game, keep losing and losing, and then realize no you aren't running bad, they really are that good lol.

C'mon guys, no respect. OP seemed destined for greatness, imo. I'm sure he is just too busy stacking cash to be bothered posting on this site anymore.
