Limit Poker?

[Syracuseeee]

I was thinking about trying to build a BR at limit poker. I've played Limit for over 4 years anywhere from $2/$4 to $10/$20. My question is is it possible to build a BR if I start at $2/$4?

I'm not really sure what you are trying to learn here. If you feel you are experienced and can be profitable, then of course you can build a BR starting at any level, if you have enough of a starting stake. For instance, if you start with only $50 stake and try to build from $2/$4, that would be unwise, because you would be playing too cautiously, I suspect.

it is very difficult to build up a BR with limit poker. the rake kills your profit unless you get into a huge pot. but as stated already if you have $50 you should play in the .10/.25 or lower. my general rule is to play with at least 100BB.

Hows your bankroll? Is it building? Think u can answer that one yourself my friend gl

100BB is not nearly enough. 500BB should be your minimum. I use a 1,000BB rule myself. You can definitely build a bankroll in limit poker. I once turned $100 into $10,000 by playing mostly $3/$6 limit holdem'. I suggest you take up limit Omaha H/L. This is a game that can earn an expert player more than twice the hourly (Or BB/100) amount and requires half the bankroll to play it comfortably. If you can find a regular game at your local poker room, you can really cash in, especially given that you won't have to pay for a "bad beat drop", which will drain you in a standard limit holder' game. Give O8 a shot. It's my favorite game. I played limit holdem' for 8 years, before finding Omaha. If you are a sound winning player at limit holdem', your skills will translate in O8 very well. Besides, whats more fun than making the nuts?... Making the Nut-Nut! Good luck.

Of course it's possible. As long as you practice good brm you can build a br at any level.

Yes its a different game with ALOT more chasing.. but just cause you think it sucks doesnt mean it does LOL Yes you can build a bank roll pretty easy really but like someone else said you cant put on 50 and try to build on 2/4 tables, not enough roll for the variance that limit brings. It can be done tho so good luck on the felt!!

I'll second what Herbs916 said: Start small and work your way up as your bankroll grows. Good luck!
