Limit Hold'em: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Following is an analysis of the pros and cons of one of the variations of poker that may be helpful to you. Once upon a time, Limit Hold'em was the most played online poker game. There remain on the net many low and medium limit games in the poker rooms, and a few with a $100/$200 limit. It continues to be the easiest game to find and is a sure bet to continue on that path as only a few players are able to rise to the $20/$40 level.
There are beaucoup books written exclusively on limit games. The multitude and availability of the literature devoted to the game gives it a major advantage. The game is thoroughly studied and an apt student can learn much from these books along with experience at the table. The decision making process is not terribly complicated in limit hold'em and basic mathematical aptitude can lead to instant mental calculations while involved in a game.
Moreover, dispersion is less of a threat in limit games. That coldly calculating deity determines the chances of every player involved at a given moment and even the worst and unluckiest rookie may luck out (if you don't want to go into actual statistics, just read any of Terry Pratchett's hapless-Rincewind novels for a dramatization of this point of games and life).
There is virtually no poker game untouched by statistical dispersion. Huge losses happen to the most expert of players, a major deterrent to a lot of would-be players. Higher dispersion rates can be found in no-limit and tournament games making limit poker less intensive psychologically. Limit Hold'em can be indulged in with little money in one's bank and there are several unique computer programs designed for limit poker. Two of which are Poker Tracker and Poker Office. These programs are very helpful especially for low limit players. They can be of use during play as well as after whenever you need to analyze or calculate statistics of the game at any point.
About the only minus of limit holdem is the constantly growing number of well-trained, well-informed opponents. But that is the direct result of the pluses just listed and makes the game, though accessible, not as easily profitable as one might hope it to be. The chief source of income for poker rooms is the seemingly small rake deducted from the pot during each hand. Rooms therefore rely heavily not on the number of players in their rooms. But at the conclusion of a series of long games, the percentage of all hands played may reach surprisingly high sums and limit games against good players may result in near-zero or even negative gain.
You will not find many games of limit Hold' em off line. Limit Hold'em doesn't seem to contain the features to make it a casino and club game staple. The aficionados of limit Hold'em love it for what it has - the essence of poker which is the card combinations. It apparently is just not as memorable and socially rewarding as being able to converse with fellow card-playing chums around a table made of real wood.
