much higher BB/100 for good players

Its not a good resaon I believe.
For example 10/20 limit is playmoney comparing to 10/20 NL so if you want appropiate comparision you should compare games of similair size (like 30/60 limit to 10/20NL for example) Then you get similair winrates too...

One thing is for sure - you pay more rake in limit. So the moneye stays on the table a little longer in NL.

If you're going to play online...the best chance to make a solid amount of money imo is limit. And by solid I mean a couple hundred per hour.

Personally I just wouldn't be able to handle 150-300BB downswings. Heck, a 3-4 buyin downswing now and then gets to me.

My opinion is that in a casino, it's always limit, whatever your skill level.

On-line, if you're mega talented and skilled and can crush any game you chose to play, then the biggest bucks can be made at no-limit. However, for the rest of us who are happy with a couple hundred grand or less per year, then it's easier to do it in limit.

NL has far less variance and smaller swings than limit.

[/ QUOTE ]

My understanding is that the variance is less but the swings are more. With limit there is only a set amount at risk at a time, with limit I can lose a few buy ins in one hand. Also I play B&M once a week and with california your limited to a small buy in for NL. This makes it hard when you can't protect as well against larger stacks.

For my personal play I tend to pick the wrong time to be aggressive and this was something that was not as much an issue on a limit table. I agree this is a leak that I'm fixing but choosing the correct game to fit my style or personality means that I make money while learning instead of just investing more and more for unscheduled lessons [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Isn't the answer - wherever there are more players in roughly equivalent $/hr levels?

No limit for sure. Bigger swings though- as we all know.
