The Nit has been having a tough time at the tables as of late and was down about 3 buy-ins for a while. This is almost unheard of in Nitville, so I decided to take a break from NL Cash and try something that I don't try too often: 6-Handed Sit and Go Games and Limit Holdem over on Full Tilt. In no time, the Nit was back on track and his losses were made good.
Limit is my latest flavor of the month as it allows me to focus purely on odds and outs-the bets are never big enough to bully me off hands. To get a good background in the game, I reread Jennifer Harmann's chapter on Limit in Super System II, and so far its all going swimmingly. At this stage, I am really considering moving about 30-40% of my bankroll to Full Tilt, because the choice of limit games there is fantastic.
As for the 6-Handed Sit and Go mathces, they really are a nits dream at the lower levels. This is plainly and simply because two get paid and you can get to the last 3 by doing nothing and waiting for the donks to go out. So even if I don't pick up a hand, I am still in with a shot. The other good thing is that when it gets to that stage, I am either way ahead (when I get cards), or still in with a shot. The latter scenario is great because it forces me to play and to develop a short-handed game that can get value out of less than premium hands.
So......results for the month so far:
No Limit Holdem......down 43 dollars (curses)
Limit Holdem............up 12 Dollars
6 Handed S&G..........up 62 Dollars (Yeahhhhh!!!!)
The poker gods never close one door without opening another.
