<< This is a short handed 2/4 Limit ring I played one night. You'll see me change gears a couple times, one thing to watch here is bad reads or simply players not trying to read at all, and a lot of calls to raises on the river that shouldn't be made. For short handed limit play I wouldn't suggets playing below 2/4, its much to hard to make a move and get other players to fold.
