Playable Hands Part 2 |
|
|
|
|
As stated in the
previous article, the following are
suggested guidelines for an average 9
handed $2/$4 Limit Hold 'em table, where
it is neither an aggressive or very tight
line up. Slight adjustments would have to
be made if the game became too tight, and
likewise if the game became a little wild.
