Will my limit game improve?
I'm thinking about learning NL. I have some of the books (not 'Professional No-Limit Hold 'em: Volume I', I need that one I guess?).
I love limit and have absolutely no intention of quitting that game. What I wonder is, do you think my limit game will improve by learning NL? If so, in what way?

Re: Will my limit game improve?
Your question is a good one, which may have good answers. I can attest that playing NL has taken the fear right out of playing limit if there ever was any. There's a 12% chance he might checkraise me on the turn? pfftt..
In general, when you play NLHE, play stud, play omaha-8, you're learning to play "POKER" not just one variation of it. So you expand your mind in that way. Try playing NL and then LIMIT in the same session. When you sit at the limit table you may feel like your head's under water and your arms are in a straitjacket but you have to adjust. Or you may feel great about getting to raise so much without having to worry about folding to a big reraise. "Professional No Limit" helped me to realize some things about the importance of position and how it affects play of the hand. And the idea of SPR's just makes things so much easier. So yes give it a look.

NL will improve your limit game an INSANE amount. Because after getting used to NL you wont ever want to play limit again, and that is a big improvement [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

One plays limit with the feel, nl with the thinking. After nl one is thinking when playing limit, and after limit one is feeling when playing nl.

Re: Will my limit game improve?
Playing some no limit has made me more aware of the bluffing opportunities I have in limit. (Yes, Virginia, there is bluffing in limit poker.)

Re: Will my limit game improve?
I found it completely backwards.
Played NL profitably for 4+ years before switching to primarily SH limit for my online game. I still play NL live, and it's SUCH an easier game. If you only have played NL (and aren't a damn savant) you're probably decent at preflop, decent on the flop, and god awful on the turn and river. Playing limit makes you much better at making decisions on all streets. NL hurts your limit game in some aspects, 'cause you fold very often in NL, whereas showdown monkeys pull in the $ in limit.
