Re: Is limit or no limit holdem more safer to play?
[ QUOTE ]
I don't like playing big pots unless i hold a very strong hand and most of the time in no limit, i cant really put my opponent on a hand that well. Limit is more straightforward.

This is a really really bad reason to play limit, especially shorthanded. The fact that bets are so small compared to the pot means there will be a lot of light betting and raising going on (frequently correctly). In the middle of typing this post I just called down a flop c/r + turn/river bets with AK UI no draw and was right. Then after I finished that sentence I called a turn c/r with AJ ui and called the river and was right again.

However, i was told limit has more downswings and you may feel those 300BB's downswings. However, arent those 300BB's downswings going to take a lot of hands to happen? I mean, i could play 50NL and have a 300BB downswing in 10 minutes.

Personal taste. Some people think "at least NL gets it overwith while limit drags it out over several months."
