High Limit Poker
High Limit Poker games have a
blind structure that begins at about $15/$30
with some online poker games getting as high as
$1000/$2000. Even at the $15/$30 level you will
easily be playing for pots that are several
hundreds of dollars. If you are good enough,
you can make quite a bit of money at these
levels. You can reach these levels. In order
to do so you need lots of practice, patience and
discipline. Only move up in blinds when you
have been a consistent winner at your current
level for at least a couple of months if not
more.
High Limit Poker Strategy
If you are a good poker player
and it is a big part of your life then you
probably have dreams of playing and winning at
high limit poker. Believe it or not, this is
possible to do all starting with limits as low
as they come. You can start out at the bottom
and before you know it work your way up as high
as you want. If you are going to do this you
will need to be fearless, selective and
consistent.
Playing high limit poker is
nothing to joke about. Whether you like your
money or not you have to risk a lot of money to
play in these games. You should have full
confidence in yourself and believe firmly and
fully that you are great at the game. Of course,
there is always room for improvement but you
should really be at the top of your game. If
not, then keep practicing and learning. If you
are, then be prepared to experience life
changing events for many years to come.
Fearless
Part of a successful high limit poker strategy
is being a fearless player. If you are afraid of
losing money and making huge plays, turn around
and walk away; you are not ready for this. If
you have confidence that you will be able to
make strong bets and hang with the best of them
then move forward with full force. Playing with
fear will do nothing except lose you money.
Playing with confidence and guts will win you
more money then you could ever imagine. If you
are looking to play high limit poker you
probably already have all the skills needed; you
just have to make a smooth transfer over to high
limits.
Selective
You have to be selective with
more than one thing. You have to be selective
with your hands, tables and playing times. There
are going to be tables that fit you better then
others and you should never settle for anything
less. Even more importantly; you have to be
selective with your hands. High limit poker
games are very aggressive. There is nothing more
important then being selective with your hands.
This will allow you to be able to only risk the
most amounts of money on the best hands.
Consistent
The majority of the time
consistency is not a good thing when it comes to
poker strategy. Switching up your game is always
a good thing to do. That is not the consistency
that is being talked about here. This is meaning
consistency between lower limits and higher
limits. If you are thinking about moving up then
you probably have been successful in lower
limits. Keep doing what you are doing and do not
let the money factor mess with your head. There
is no difference except you are going to have
better competition and more money involved. Both
of these things are something that you will have
to learn to get used to.
Your strategy shouldn't change
much just because it is high limit poker. Stick
to the basics and have some confidence in
yourself. That is going to get you further then
any poker book or strategy guide could get you.
Once you develop a comfort zone and get used to
the high limit tables you will be amazed at what
you can do. Keep focused on making the best
decisions and keep playing your opponents. Too
many players try to switch up their strategy too
much which will only hurt you. You know how to
play this game, so implement that to your high
limit poker strategy. |
