I enjoy playing Holdem so much, that I accept the constraints of PL in order to lower my variance and extend my bankroll as I learn. The opportunity to draw to straights and flushes at pot odds is a wonderful added benifit. The next time you are working on your table selection at the PP $25 NL/PL, look at the PL tables. "Right Now", 10:00PM on a Tues they are better, there's 10 tables with a $12+ pot avg, top table is $19, tell me that isn't a honey hole with a quarter BB. If you have skills, in pot limit you have more time to use them, if you dont it works out as more time to learn.
As a preface to tonights PL hand, TJ Cloutier says that "3 raises is AA a pure as Ivory Snow", Phil Gordon says, "that 4 raises are 99.99% pure aces". A PL player thinks, Hmmmm, dems some damm fine implied odds to draw to a set with!!
Me in S6 AA YEEHAW
S4 makes it 2 bet, I call
S7 makes it 4 bets S4 calls
I make it 16 bets and they both call
Flop (Q K 9) DAMM, tell me there aint a set in there, nevermind the straight
check check S7 bets 16 BB call call
blank drops on the turn
check, I check, a 1/2 pot bet, and then the allin
audios hombres, yes he called and yes they both had sets!
In NL I would have beeen broke, instead PL gives me the chance to minimize my losses.
