Default Re: Poker Variants:Specialize or Learn Them All?

Specialize, I have played professionally now for 1 1/2 years and think I am very good in quite a few different limit games, but still now after playing no limit full time for 3 weeks my winrate is far from impressive.

Why is it that low? Simply because even if I am good at poker and understand the no limit game as well, I misinterpret a lot of my opponents' actions and miscalculate how my actions will affect theirs, due to lack of esperience in that game. It takes a lot of hands to get these things straight and everytime you change game or limit you have to go through much of the process once again. What separates a really good player from a decent one is finding those ev-edges that are deeply "hidden" in the game and that takes a lot of hands and a putting a deep mental effort into observing.
