Limit

I won't be able to play much poker for the next week and a half because a friend is in town. That also means I will only be able to post when I have some random thought while I'm near a computer.

Here's today's overly obvious idea of the moment:

In limit hold 'em, don't bet when behind.

I don't think it's too bad of an idea as a general principle. There are probably plenty of exceptions. But I probably cost myself more than I realize by raising for free cards and trying to force people to fold by making dumb bluffs.

Please leave comments if you think the above statement is wrong.
