Switching from NL and PLO to limit

2009-02-23T22:31:58Z

I have switched game from NL and PLO over to limit games the last couple of week. I play almost every game now, just in limit. Have been playing 8-game and HORSE aswell as stud, stud8 and holdem.

I feel like I have found myself as a mixed-games limitplayer since I tend to get bored if I play one game for too long time at once. And the second and maybe most important thing I like about the limit games is ofcourse that I make way more money

In limit games I feel I have so much more control on my variance, since its easier to control the size of the pot. That makes me feel comfortable playing higher limits. I just have to tighten up and play solid hands. People are calling you down with all sorts of ridicolous hands. Just booked a session 2/4 limit holdem where i ended up winning $135 during 145 hands. Ofcourse I might be running good, but since I better can control how much money I have to put in with marginal hands I believe I can avoid big downswings way better than in NL and PLO.

Just hoping this trend is going to continue. Until next time...

Eurotrip

2009-02-01T11:30:09Z

Ok, so a buddy and I plan to make a roadtrip through Europe. On our way we plan hitting some casinos, probably in Prague, Paris and/or London depending on how our bankroll develop through our journey (hopefully i won't be broke when I leave the first casino )

My goal is that I am going to pay for the trip with my online-poker winnings. With our current budget estimation I need to earn about 2500$. I've only played online-poker for a couple of months, with a start roll of only 100$. I am currently at 250$ so I realize that it might get though to make 2500$ by juli, especially without rakeback. (I play at stars for the moment, but consider to change room when i make the deposit bonus).
Luckily the trip doesn't depend on if I reach my goal or not.

But i wonder if any of you have any tips regarding good casinos who spread NLHe/PLO, 1/2-2/4 ?
Or just any advice which can come in handy.
I am really excited and look forward to the trip, and ofcourse i will make sure to blog along the way.
