My advice is to stick with fixed limit. In my view, pot- and no-limit adds much more complexity than it is worth in dollars (if any) in 5 card draw.

I cannot believe this is true though I do like contrary opinions as a rule.

5 card draw is a game of many small edges, not a few big ones.

The game died out because the fish could not catch up in one betting round no matter how many cards they took. There are no big edges because there are so few fish playing draw nowadays. Indeed, I switched to seven stud even though I was a 1.1 big bet winner per hundred hands over 55.000+ hands. A figure that is derisory from the vantage point of my seven stud exploits.

Fixed limit exploits your opponents mistakes better than big bet limits.

If your regular non-fish but still mistake making opponents are calling too much because they perceive the pot to be big enough when it is not then yes, but what else?

At lower variation, and lower strain to your brain...

I agree. The variance must be lower, but is it lower by definition, in that, limit has lower variance than pot limit or is it game dependent?
