Re: Limit Holdem can only be profitable with high stakes vs. no limit
This belongs in the beginners forum. There are a bunch of mistakes in there. Lots of bad poker thinking. If someone else wants to address them they are free to. I'll do one.

I have to play the medium/high stakes were you won't get that many chases to river and lose to bad beats

Chasers are how you make money in limit. Putting money in while behind and not getting proper odds to draw = profit for good players. If they weren't chasing us and they were folding correctly there wouldn't be much money to make, eh? And you can do fine in smaller stakes for side income assuming you're talking about online play. Multitabling 2/4 is pretty profitable for a good player. In fact, lots of players have a higher winrate playing 6 2/4 tables than they would playing 4 4/8 or 5/10 tables. That is just an example.
Of course, unless you commit to learning limit figuring out which limit is the most profitable won't be a problem for you. Limit is, IMO, more difficult to learn and play effectively on a day to day basis than NL. The transition for somebody who is knows NL is usually pretty brutal.
