How do you play NL when all you've played is pot limit?

Trying to teach someone who has only played Pot Limit...anything in particualar I should tell him before he plays?

[martindcx1e]

not really. just tell him to enjoy raising pre-flop as much $ as he wants now.

i find people like to chase big pots in pot limit with TPGK... its like they think OMG! i have KT and the board is K89!! im not folding no matter what comes..

[Jimmy Mac]

I play both. The only times I miss being able to overbet the pot are preflop, usually when raising from the blinds, and on the river with a big hand. It doesn't play too different really, he should be fine.

I like pot limit though, I find games to be a touch looser on the all the big sites, and the PLHE on Pokerroom is insane. I don't seem to find quite so many multicampers playing pot limit, it's full of players who love to see flops and just one more card.

Tell him to bet the pot.

[BankItDrew]

Tell him the only difference is that strength is easier determined by bet sizes.

[Pelion]

As has been said there is hardly any difference apart from preflop raising and the occasional allin river overbet when you catch a miracle card in a tiny pot.

Yea good advice..thanks

pretty similar game post flop so he should be able to adjust easily enough. easier then moving from limit id say, maybe just tell him/her to be more selective about the hands they enter from early position in a no limit side game

Thanks for this pointer. I U.
