If you are a player who loves to feel the satisfaction of making huge bluffs and putting intense pressure on your opponents by going all-in, then limit poker is not the game for you. UNDERSTANDING THAT LIMIT IS A VERY MATHEMATICAL GAME Fortunately most small stakes limit poker players make so many mistakes that you can still eke out a profit (although it will likely be a small profit) as long as you play well. And when the small blind and big blind are taken from every pot you win that makes the game that much tougher to beat. In other words, not only do I have to beat my opponents, but I need to beat the rake as well. This means that $6 or the equivalent of the Small Blind and Big Blind are taken from pots that I win. I generally tip the dealer $1 for every pot I win that sees a flop. At my 4/8 table, my casino drops $4 for every pot that sees a flop and $1 for a jackpot. The first thing you need to recognize when you sit down is what the rake is going to be. Other than the 1/2 NL game I can play 2/4, 3/6, and 4/8 limit. My local casino does not offer a wide variety of games. The best place to start is just in the basics. In this post I want to just jump into my actual guide of how to play. In my last post I gave an introduction of who I am and how I got to playing live small stakes limit poker.
