The arguments about where to start have been hashed out to death on these forums(although not lately). I don't think it matters where you start to learn. Nl and limit have theoretical similarities, but are immensely different games. Different personalities are attracted and better suited to each game. Long term, I think it is valuable to have an understanding of both. But for starting out, pick the game you want to play and go with it.

For me, I don't think I could have started with nl and had the success I did. I'm sure that some people can though. I think the learning curve is a little less expensive at limit for comparable stakes - that was why I started there. I just think that nl is more profitable now then the limit stakes I was playing. That's why I switched.
