| What criterion is used to determine if you have a game or limit beat? I have seen comments about not moving up a limit level until you have the current one beat. Or, the comment, "I have had this game beat for years, now I just play and collect on it." Any input would be appreciated... Well almost any, we'll see. :) ran -the Official Hackee Sak of the Poker Gods. | ||

| Maybe I'm missing something, but as long as you're making money in the long run, I'd say you're beating it! Moving up depends on how badly you are beating it. Lee | ||

| It is a very difficult thing to know. Most people who play poker think that they are beating the game, but 90% are not. You can look to your long term money that you have made at the game to know for sure. Still, when you gain experience you will know when you are beating a game. Basically if every hand that gets played shows you mistakes made by both players which you see as mistakes, but they do not, then you know that you'll get one more big bet per hand you win and will lose one less big bet per hand you lose. That is money that the table will pay you. The amount of mistakes you make and the amount of mistakes your opponents make factor into this. If your opponent is better than you, there are things you do that are right that he will see as mistakes - possibly because his reads are better or he has you figured out. Likewise, if you are outplaying an opponent he will think that he is doing things correctly, but you will know better. For example, I had the following happen this weekend. I folp the nut straight, but there is a flush draw on board. I bet out and everybody comes along except for the player immediately to my right who raises. I three bet to drive out stupid money or make them pay for their untennable draws and he caps. The turn brings a flush and I call him down. He had the nut flush and no other piece of the flop. His raise could be seen as safe to make for value since there were enough people, but when I reraised and players folded out he should have just called the three-bet. Since the flush did come, it made him a lot of money, but it was a mistake that I capitalized on, and in the long run this adds up. When you put 9 people at a table who make similar mistakes, none of the are giant fish, but I can beat the game because I will profit from each a small amount at a time when they do such inapropriate things. | ||
