Patience and bet/raise like it's going out of style when you have the goods.

Do not try to bluff, never works there.

Do not slowplay or try tricky plays, these guys don't know the difference.

Good Luck

That's all you need to know if you're playing the $25 tables.

As everyone has stated. The key to winning at low limit hold'em is to play your position and quality hands. There is no bluffing at the low limits. People WILL chase down to the river. So the better your starting hand the better off you will be. When you do have a good hand, make your opponents pay to play. Raise aggresssively with the best hand.

Also beware the variance monster. Once I get a good portion over my initial Buy-in (At least double up.). I call it a day. I find at limit games. The longer I sit the better the chances of giving back all I win. So have a set amount of time and money alloted for a limit game.

There is a fine line between a bluff, a thin value bet and buying cheap cards on the flop. I walk it very closely.

If you're a winning player, this is pure nonsense.

Ya, I dont believe in limiting my winnings especially at a table were I am hot. On the other hand, if I am down on another table, I would consider leaving b/c profit/loss is much dependant on the opps on the table.

I follow the Super System section on Limit (its the only book I read so far on Limit) play by the letter and have won consistantly during each session (I think I am plus $300 for the week just on 1/2 limit tables). Folks say the book out-of-date, but I didnt find anything in there that was questionable to me. I am playing 2, 1/2 limit tables on Paradise. Most of the money is from the fish chasing bad draws or playing bad preflop cards in early position. Or if theres any reasonable opps on the table, I will play them HtoH with some good results.

Well I guess I'm not a winning player. This has been MY personal experience. When I sit too long sometimes the bad beats happen and I break even. So I've adopted a double up and call it a night strategy. It's not like it's too far fetched. Varience and bad beats do happen. I'm just saying that it can be limited is all.
