The luck of some people

Why is it in fixed limit, people seem to play every type of hand, chasing some kind of dream. I have grown increasingly tired of losing in fixed limit with good cards, to be beaten by someone with 83 off suit or some other ridiculous hole hand. I love the game, as it is on where check raising is essential to gaining a larger pot. Also, when I play at some of the casinos that I frequent, there may not be a no-limit game playing, or rather one I can afford. So I am forced to sit at a limit table. Live doesn't seem to be that bad, but on-line is horrible. Can anyone give me some advice as to how to beat these chasing donks at thier own madness??? :cursing:

What I've noticed after quite some time of playing exclusively fixed limit is that it's not about who wins more, but about who can lose less.

I believe the limits you play are not too high, which means there are way too many donkeys and calling stations. Make notes to pinpoint the worst players and never try to outbluff them. Keep building the pot unless you start feeling your hand is weaker.

The most important thing is to stay cool, as it's extremely easy to go tilt. Play your best game at all times and you will be on the right track.

Good luck!

Low limit FL is an unbelievable donkfest. Some people have no idea how to use the fold button nor they know what odds and outs are. It's especially annoying when you always have an edge against those fishes, and yet you keep losing. Then you tell yourself - this can't be happening, I'm better, I should come out on top in the long run! But then you just lose some more.

i think this is a ridiculous question dude ... you can't beat them, the truth is that they beat themselves ... this is the thing about fixed limit, it is for "fishes" ... so i think that if u hate this you should play NLH ... or just play FL , on the long time term you will be a winner, even if u recieve some bad beats once in a while
