Re: NL players hold greater edge over lesser opponents than Limit play
I do agree that that NL probably favours the expert but I am not sure your reasoning about the bad-beats is true. As someone in an earlier post mentioned you actually should look for tables were bad-beats happen as people are playing poorly. The thing I would like to add is that have you considered that you may just be not noticing your bad-beats at NL. How often have you wondered whether that "dozo" has got trips when he puts you all-in when you have top pair, if you call him you either feel elated or gutted but if you fold you have possibly been subject to a hidden bad beat from somebody who just doesn't know how to play properly. These folds are probably psychologically less damaging than visibly losing to 72o after pummelling away with the small limit bets.
Each to his own - if you are a winner and enjoying NL then be happy.
I accept that I will often lose from an early lead and so find limit enjoyable and profitable, in my micro world.
Good luck, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, may you find many tables were bad-beats occasionally happen,
Cheers,
