PokerStars Launches The Limit Hold’em Challenge

PokerStars has announced a new competition called The Limit Hold'em Challenge where players will compete for high stakes by invitation only. The event begins at 2pm ET on Saturday, May 5th where the first round will see Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu go up against “rUaBot”. The two will begin with $75,000 and play 1,250 hands across two tables of $200/$400 heads-up limit hold'em. “In my opinion, fixed limit is more strategic than no limit. In no-limit, you always have some guessing games like 'would he bluff here or wouldn't he?' Of course, such situations often happen in fixed-limit, too, but there is much more space for general strategic adaptions than in no-limit. I think, setting up your standard game is pure math, but exploiting your opponents patterns is an art…and will always be!” said the mysterious incognito player, “rUaBot”. The launch of this Limit Hold'em Challenge will be music to the ears of players of the format, which have watched the popularity of the game decline due to an increased interest in No Limit Hold'em games. PokerStars said, “Limit Hold'em games are a great alternative to the frenzied action on the No Limit tables.”
