Greetings limit fans,
Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
Incredible as it sounds, I have been reading FTR for over five years, but I only registered this morning! What promted me to do this? Well, I've been following the posts of Chopper and Lawdude for some time, and see that they account for over 60% of the posts on this forum. I think they need some support/company. In a world in which no-limit is supposed to be THE GAME, it's nice to know there are a few people who prefer limit and are not afraid to admit it.
Since I'm at work I won't go into my whole life story (that's for another post) but suffice it to say I began playing poker when most everyone else did, in 2004, after the Moneymaker boom started. I've tried no limit and I absolutely detest it; it makes my stomach turn, and while I may make more money with it, I don't think it's worth doing if you're not having fun. I have a pretty nice job (college professor) so I'm not looking to play for a living and play 8 hours a day (yuck) without any health benefits or social life like some internet "pros".
Chopper, I'm especailly encouraged when you say .25/.50 is very beatable (let me know what you think of .50/1 after you play enough hands). It gives me something to look forward to. Recently I practically started all over rebuiding my bankroll (long story) and am now grinding .10/.20 and am forcing myself to stay on that level until I play 30,000 hands and have at least $150. But I am content, because I have learned to be content, and also I appear to be winning at this (albeit low) limit right now.
Again, I'll give you more details later and might even post some hands or two, once I figure out how this converter works. I look forward to the mutual support on our journey.
