Anyone else hate limit?

I play a lot of NL right now because the games are good and I like the lower variance. That being said, I actually think limit poker, especially short-handed, is a lot of fun. When the NL games dry up I won't be bummed to have to switch back. Though, like others have mentioned, it is nice booking so many winning sessions.

However the variance in NL games, especially short-handed NL games, is becoming greater as the players become more aggressive. I've seen some 5/10 and 10/20 NL graphs that look like similar to shorthanded LHE graphs. I think the main difference is that you have more of a choice of how much variance you want to experience. I play a higher variance style and have greater swings playing NL then many players do.

Also, that whole "protecting your hand" stuff is [censored]. If you flop a straight and they call down with middle pair thank your lucky stars.

If you like them calling you down with runner runner draws, you can play NL and make minimum bets to keep people in.

If you played hands like that at the NL table, you would be thanking your lucky stars all day.
