Limit holdem Poker is the most popular style of hold’em poker, attracting many amateur poker enthusiasts. The reason for it being so well-loved is because the gambling is not too cutthroat. The stakes are not big due to the fact that the wagering is limited, you can simply compete with very little money.
If you are wagering at a 50c/$1 Limit hold’em Poker table, the betting will be limited to increments of 50 cents during the pre-flop and flop, and $1 during the Turn and River rounds.
In Limit poker games the strongest poker hand more often than not wins, due to the fact that players are more likely to stay in the game and force a showdown. If you were wagering in a NL Poker Room bettors are more likely to drop out prior to the turn or river, than risk losing a large piece of their stack.
Bluffing in Limit rounds is not all that accepted, because it’s not too expensive for your competitor to call if he thinks that you might be attempting to trick them.
If you are betting at a small-limit game and you are handed a great hand you really should attempt to keep as many players in the round as possible. Attempt checking if you are one of the first to place a bet, this should trick most bettors into thinking your hand is poor.
The key is to draw as many wagers away from your opponents without exposing that you’re in a strong position.
In low-limit poker rounds you should be looking for pre-flop hands that are no less than 9s or higher pair, or two big rank unpaired cards.
