Most of you who are local receive these emails from a guy who promotes some games here in town. This one caught my interest because I didn't think this guy spread anything like $3-6 or $4-8, which is what would typically be described as "low limit" in the poker world... But, wow! $10-20 is now considered to be "low limit"? If that's the case I am really out of touch (and seriously underpaid)!

Hi Players :^)
Tonight:
Thursday: 6PM $1/$2 No LimitHoldem
Thursday: 6PM $10/$20 Limit Holdem

UPDATE: On second thought, maybe he's saying that the $1-2 blinds in the No Limit game are relatively small compared to a $2-5 or $5-5 game, but still, $1-2 NL is not a small game to most people. I mean, the pot will be at least $15 or $20 preflop and bets will increase exponentially from there if people play correctly, you could easily be betting and raising $80 or more on the later streets. That's not "Low Limit" to me, but maybe I'm just poor and out of touch.

it still doesnt make sense. if he is referring to the NL as "low", why would it be "low limit"? wouldnt it be "low blind"

it must be a typo or at least a not well thougt out phrase, bc it makie no sense
