How do you succeed?

Hello,
I am kind of new at limit poker. I am used to no limit where you can actually protect your hand. I was playing three six tonight and I feel like the best hand never holds. Even when I flopped the nut straight it didn't hold up. I only won like five pots the entire night. What are your strategies for playing limit when there is a bunch of calling stations? How do you succeed at this game?

i think the answers are pretty obvious here and you know it.
villains have odds to draw out against your stronger hands? sometimes they do, sometimes they dont. they can always call ridiculous bets against odds in NL as well. if they do have the odds, so be it. you'll get similar chances. just recognize when youre beat.

calling stations? again, the obvious answer. dont bluff air and value bet even your marginal made hands relentlessly.

yell at the players for playing poorly against you and taking your money, those gd, mf'in, card racking, river ratting, suck-out-artisting, donkey fishes.
