I find it mad that you all see limit as a better live game. I live in Ireland and it's almost impossible to find one at all. Yet, you'll find NL games going on everywhere.

Keep in mind that one of the biggest reasons for this, as far as I'm concerned, is that I've been stuck at too many no limit tables where there is one guy who always has to stop the action to count the pot, to count his opponent's chip stacks, and to make a decision. More often than not, this guy doesn't even know anything about pot odds anyway. He's just holding up the game, and I prefer prefer a game where I can get in a guaranteed dozen hands an hour.

There is also a reason I forgot to mention as well. In No Limit, a player can gain a certain advantage at times by just being aggressive. In limit, it's all about pot odds. When I play on the internet, there is always at least a couple of other players who know how to calculate pot odds, and that makes the games more difficult to beat. When I play live, I oftentimes go months without seeing a player in a limit game that knows how to calculate pot odds. I forgot to mention it before, but this is a huge reason why I prefer live limit games over no limit games. These games are FUN.
