am i crazy for wanting to transition from nl to limit as my main game?

[fitnessfreak]

ive been playing poker fulltime for about 18 months now. for the first 10 months i mainly played 10/20 limit and 5/5nl at my local casino, but i also got quite into playing 6max limit holdem on stars. i was 9 tabling 3/6 and 2/4 limit for hours and hours a day, partly because of the fpp program, and also because i found it hugely addictive and interesting. the thing was that i kept hearing about all the money people were making playing 6max no limit online and that online limit holdem was dead. i decided to give no limit a proper crack in march, and since then i have made a pretty decent amount of cash and have moved up to 3/6 and 5/10nl as my main games.

however, there is one big problem. i dont think i actually like playing no limit. i never seem to be able to put in many hours, and it always seems like such a grind, and when i run bad it feels like absolute torture. conversely, i used to put in tonnes of hours playing limit online, and i always found it to be fun and challenging, even when i was losing.

i guess what i want to know is, is it stupid of me to want to get back into playing limit online, or is there not really enough money in it these days for it to be worthwhile? at the end of the day i would be happy to take a pay cut in order to do something i enjoy more. hell, thats why i quit my "real" job to play poker in the first place.

Yeah, the most important thing really is to think poker is fun, so I think you should give limit a crack again and see if you can find the joy once more.

haha, yeah thats pretty much what all my nl friends have said too. but what can i say, i have a weird affinity for limit holdem. i am def not stopping playing nl, its just that i want to focus on limit as my main game. i am pretty keen to go ahead with it, but if enough people tell me its a retarded idea and theres no money in limit then i might reconsider. obviously nl players who slag off limit just for the sake of it dont count as credible sources on this issue.

I find heads up limit can be a lot of fun if you want a change of pace... tons of action and you can play pretty much any two. Hard to play more than 4 games with aggressive opponents, but I think it's more fun/profitable than playing 9 6-max or FR games.
