I know most people here play no limit but I am making the switch to limit because I don't really like the ridiculously huge 12000 hand downswings in no limit that have cost me my roll before and sent me back to freerolls. Anyways I have played 1124 hands at 0.25/0.50 (I know that isn't alot) and have turned a profit of $44.00. My BB/100 is 7.83 and I am making $5.87/hr.

A) Is this winrate sustainable at this level or is this likely a huge upswing?

B) In my last session I saw several sets over sets and full houses over full houses. How common is this?

C) What is the biggest upswing/downswing you have had?

D) What is proper bankroll management for limit games?

E) With drawing hands is it correct to use pot odds? (Ex: I have the nut flush draw w/ approx. 37% chance of hitting and the pot is $1.50 w/ 1 bettor in front of me for .25. Is it right to call here or should I go about it a different way?

These questions are all pertaining to limit holdem so please do not give answers that pertain to no limit. Thank you and good luck(natural variance) at the tables.

a. Not sustainable.... good bb/100 though.... ride it!!

b. FH over FH and set over set is rare... were you the winner of these hands? you are lucky if so, or should I say your opponent is unlucky. You will not see this often. Rare.

c. I dont have enough hands yet to have an upswing or downswings lol, ive barely started so cant answer that.

d. Well, id like to have at LEAST 300 BBs, preferably 500 BBs. Soooo if im playing 9 tables of 3/6 limit, id like to have $2400-$3000. I personally will have $5000 though, to be ultra comfortable at around ~750 BBs. You are playing 0.25/0.50 so if you are just 1 tabling this.... $150 will do...

e. With limit, the biggest "edge" you have, is the ability to capitalize on your big draws, betting them always, so that you get the most value when you hit them. So no, you wouldnt call, nut flush draw = raise.
