Well, boot up a few limit tables and see how you do. The number of decisions is much higher, simply because there is going to be a lot more bets. In NL/PL, there is usually no more than one or two bets per street, and often the stacks either go in or one is folding. In limit it is much more likely that we will get to showdown and that there will be more bets per street.

He seems to have toned down. Lost 117k yesterday and quit. The old Isi would have played for his entire roll and showed up when next pay cheque arrives.

Nice to see Viktor atop the winners side of HSDB. But did Ben win his $277k in the 200/400 CAP games or did they play the really **** for once?

My experience with limit games is... limited, but I know there's a lot of button-clicking. I just can't take it seriously, and always end up capping or flatting everything.

ofc, there some huge variance in these games. But even given that, one must admit that its pretty darn impressing sitting down and playing the top limit guys, and manage to put in these results..

im not hating at all and its obviously good for the games and impressive that he just challenges the best of the best

BUT

for limit hold em you can't expect that much better than 1-2bb/100, imagine the insane variance, even if draw/stud games had people show slightly higher winrates they still would experience huge variance

But I am sure that if you are making such a comment you have a great explanation and I'm looking forward to being enlightened.

Hands per hour are much higher in HU poo-fling plus it's hi-lo which requires a little more attention to read the hand/board. Seemed pretty obvious no?

Soltan already gave you an answer, but I was searching for a post I saw about this so I'll quote it anyway haha

Honestly the fastest might just be 1 table very fast. You can probably get in 500-600h/hr. So a 200k hand challenge would take 400 or so hours.
