Default Re: Pot Limit: what are the key differences

NL is more a flop game = you should decide on the flop if you want to felt a big pot.

PL is more a turn game = you can play more flops without fearing being pushed out of a hand at the flop.

For PL bet sizing is a bit more important (even if the options are limited compared to NL). If you have a monster on the flop you'll have to calculate flop,turn and river bets to max out the potential of your hand.

Since the options are limited your play (unfortunately the opponent's play as well) is a tad more diguised. A Pot sized bet could mean anything...

I concur that PL is softer than NL at PS, at least @ PL25 to PL50 (I haven't played many hands at NL100). The field is smaller and you get to know the regulars fairly quickly.

More drawing to cinch hands and consequently more suck outs. And there is not a lot you could do about it.

Edit: Forgot to confirm what others said: By and large, PL is much much more similar to NL than to Limit. As a matter of fact, NL and PL play quite similar.
