Learning 2 games at once?
 

Is it worth while to learn both LHE & NLHE at the same time? Can you share your experience/thoughts is you've done it?

I do not play a lot of nl HE because I play limit HE.

What happens with me, is I play nl and four or five hours later I am thinking this game is not so bad at all.

I get a little tired and think about calling it a night.

Did I mention I get a little agressive about his time too. With my much better playing skills, I know who I can push around and who I can't.

The I do something innocent, like play QJs late.

Poof....all the money is gone.

ymmv

i'm gonna say no. it's def a better idea to concentrate on one at a time. Maybe take month rotation if you really want to learn both. The aggression on checkraising and calling down is so vastly different between the two that I always get confused and lose big pots with BP in nl and fold TP with 9-1 odds on the riv in limit :[

Switching between: FLHE, NLHE, and Spread Limit HE

As to selecting one or the other (FLHE or NLHE) to learn first, you may want to consider that if you screw up or get a bad beat or a cold deck in 4/8 limit, it costs you a (relatively) few bucks while in 1/2 NL, it can cost you hundreds.
