| A local casino offers a weekly spread limit tourney and I wanted to know if any of you could tell me the differences (or what is?) between spread limit and no or pot-limit. I obviously know what PL and NL are and how they're played, but have never played spread limit, or know how it works for that matter. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks. Mike | ||

| SPREAD LIMIT GAMES, ARE RARELY FOUND ANYMORE. THEY ARE MUCH MORE SKILLFUL, THAN STRUCTURED LIMIT, AND CASINOS ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF ELIMANATING SKILL, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. TO BE FAIR, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY REASON THAT SPREAD LIMIT HAS MOSTLY GONE THE WAY OF THE DODO. SPEAD LIMIT, MEANS THAT YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF WHAT TO BET, INSTEAD OF JUST DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO BET. THE MORE DECISIONS IN A POKER HAND, THE GREATER THE CHANCE OF THE UNSKILLED PLAYER, MAKING THE WRONG CHOICE. USUALLY, THE BLINDS ARE SMALL, COMPARED TO THE AMOUNT YOU CAN BET. ALSO, YOU MAY BET THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT, ON THE FLOP, SO THERE IS NO 'CHEAP STREET' TYPES OF GAMES VARY, SOME HAVE A MUCH GREATER "SPREAD" THAN OTHERS. COMMON LIMITS OF THE PAST WERE: 2-10 4-20, EVEN 4-40. THE BAY 101 CASINO, IN SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA, HAD A GREAT 10-200 GAME. OH HOW I LOVED THIS GAME. IT WAS THEN PLAYED AT THE GARDEN CITY CASINO (ALSO IN SAN JOSE) BUT LAST I CHECKED, THEY DIDNT' HAVE IT ANYMORE. ANYTIME THE BLINDS ARE LOW, AND THE BETS ARE BIG, THE WEAKER PLAYERS ARE AT A MUCH GREATER DISADVANTAGE, THEN IN THE MODERN "STRUCTERED" GAMES, THAT THE REST OF Y'ALL ARE STUCK WITH (HERE IN ALASKA, WE PLAY POT LIMIT, AND 5-20 SPREAD LIMIT) HAD TO MOVE UP HERE, TO ESCAPE THE SKILL LESS GAMES OF THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PLAY MUCH, MUCH, TIGHTER IN THIS GAME. SINCE THE BLINDS ARE SMALL, YOU DON'T GET MUCH, WHEN YOU HAVE A SUCCESSFUL STEAL. DRAWING HANDS, SUCH AS JACK TEN SUITED, GO WAY DOWN IN VALUE, AS THEIR IS NO CHEAP STREET, AND THEIR WILL USUALLY BE FEWER PLAYERS. BE PREPARED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT YOU GET TO CHOOSE HOW MUCH TO BET. ALSO, WATCH FOR PATTERNS IN OTHER'S BETTING. DOES THE MINIMUM BET MEAN A "SUCTION" BET (SMALL BET WITH A BIG HAND, TO "SUCK" EVERYONE IN) OR A WEAK HAND, TRYING TO STOP A MAXIMUM BET. IF YOU LIKE SKILLFUL POKER, YOU SHOULD LIKE THIS FORMAT, BUT DON'T EXPECT TO FIND IT VERY OFTEN. | ||

| Adam, Thanks for the info. I sort of assumed it was what the name implied, and gave you a "choice" of what to bet in a certain round. Believe it or not, the local casino I was referring to was Bay 101 in San Jose. | ||
