At the risk of enraging elipsesjeff some more, this isn't what I've read.

Now before you have a go at me, I don't play LHE but over the last four or five months I have read a lot and what I have read states categorically that pre-flop and post-flop strategies for NLHE vs. LHE are very different.

Position in LHE is important (more so pre-flop) but it is much more important in NLHE (especially post-flop).

Everything in LHE boils down to how big the pots are and whether you have odds before playing a hand. However, in NLHE you have the liberty of being able to limp in with lesser hands purely because if you hit you can potentially extract much more money from your opponents than a limited betting game.

Does this sound correct? I'm sure someone will put me straight if it's not.

BTW Rippy, I think the original poster may have missed the sarcasm in your post.

What's that 'rilla - there wasn't any. Oh, sorry - my bad.
