Why Limit?

They are just different games. (not completely, but...)

In limit, your mental standards for "Man,did I get sucked out on!", have to be a bit looser. That is to say, you can't get upset at the people you chase you down. You just look at whether or not your opponents made a mathematical mistake (or whether you did)

The "luck" is the same.

this is a another case for limit. your tolerance for beats are stregnthened by such. although nobody likes to be drawn out on, it becomes just another part of the game. if one were to switch from limit to nl, they may have built a sort of immunity to beats that others may be tilted by. handling these situations and persevering is extremely important in any form of poker.

I compare this to sparring for boxers. If you get hit in the face enough times, it doesn't hurt much anymore. You get used to being punched in the head. Same thing with bad beats. (That's the theory, anyway.)
