Limit Texas Holdem Poker
By Stanley Majors, Sat Dec 10th
b>Limit Texas Holdem Poker is the most popular type ofholdem poker, attracting many novice poker players. The reasonit is so popular is because the betting is not too aggressive.The stakes are not high and because the betting is limited, youcan easily compete with very little money. If you are playing at a 50c/$1 Limit Texas Holdem Pokertable, the betting will be limited to increments of 50c for thepre-flop and flop, and $1 for the Turn and River rounds. If you are unfamiliar with these poker terms then read the TexasHoldem Poker Terms article for a clear explanation of what theymean.
In Limit poker rooms the best poker hand most often wins,because players are more likely to stay in the game and force ashowdown. If you were playing in a No Limit Poker Room playersare more likely to fold before the turn or river, than risklosing a large piece of their stack.
Bluffing in Limit games are not very common, because it's nottoo costly for your opponent to call if he suspects that you aretrying to bluff him. If you're playing at a low-limit table and you're dealt a stronghand you should try to keep as many players in the game aspossible. Trying checking if you're one of the first to place abet, this should trick most players into thinking your hand isweak. After you reach the Turn begin to raise, and try to build thepot up as big as you can.
The key is to draw as many bets out of your opponents withoutrevealing
that you are in a strong position... |
