The answer is really, "why not limit?" Most fundamentals of poker, like value betting, were built out of the limit poker model. Nearly all the concepts in Theory of Poker are written around limit poker. Limit is the base of most other forms of poker and if you want to improve your overall hand reading in any game, learning all the games is going to benefit you in the long run. Not only will this give you excellent game selection, your strength in NL Hold'em will improve too.

Can you elaborate what a strong NL player (winner at 400NL and below) gains by learning limit? I feel like I should learn limit (specifically short-handed) and then turned off by not learning any thing and spew off. What exactly am I gaining?

this is exactly what happens to me every time i try to play NL, and I'm left asking myself the same question
