Spread Limit Games

Hello,

Soon, I’ll be going home to visit my family. Along with the said visit, I want to play $1-5 spread limit holdem game offered in our home town. However, I don’t have any idea about spread limit. Is it played like a limit game? Or if not, maybe like no limit, which one?

By the way, how much money should I prepare? Is $150 enough? And how should I play, mechanical or I should just try to mix things up?

A friend once shared to me that spread limit games tend to be a lot different than regular $3/6 limit. Players in spread limit games are tighter because of higher risk.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Tommy
Tommy,

Approach a spread limit game similar as you would a 5-10 Limit Holdem game. Players will tend to be a little tight but that doesn’t mean you can play like a maniac and not expect to lose money. Use a solid approach to the game and you should be fine. $150 is fine for this game as it is 30 big bets.
