C-betting is standard at all but the loose passivest of tables, meaning standard at 99% of the time.

Wrong. C-betting is a matter of position and board texture. If you raise UTG with AKo and get 4 callers and the board misses you low a c-bet is rarely correct.

Open raising is not so important in limit. You aren't going to open raise with your small pocket pairs in limit most of the time because you want to play them multiway. But you do raise with things like AK, AA and stuff like QJ.

Wrong. Open raising is very important in limit, in fact if you made a pact with yourself that you were never going to open limp it would be a very small mistake. Not a lot of hands you want to open limp with at all, and most of them assume a loose table where 3 or more people will limp behind you.

One of the biggest difference beween NL and Limit, especially at the micros, is that you can't bet people off of a hand. It is very rare that you can price someone off of a draw. Bluffing is much less effective because it is usually only one bet to call. You will find people who will call down with ace high so representing a hand usually doesn't work.

Learn your math, you make money by folding draws when you aren't getting the odds and calling when you do.

Unfortunately, there is much more variance in Limit than NL...
