Why do you play Limit ?

Why do you play limit hold'em as opposed to NL??
I have been told that NL is the superior game. What do you think about that?

Just wanting the opinion of people who play at the highest limit levels.

If this has already been discussed by the higher limit players, please direct me to the thread, as ive been unable to find one.

Thanks

Because ive learned and researched and practiced lhe since the day I started playing poker. Playing no limit cash games to me is like clipping my wings and telling me to swim. NL tournies on the other hand, LOZLZ, how can you do bad!? they are terriblez!

People only play limit because they have no toughness. It's a known fact that the number 1 skill to be successful in NL poker is toughness.

Limit poker is a card catching contest for math nerds.

This is poker jackass, not the WWF. I am not gonna say which is the better game, but lets not glorify no limit poker as some macho tough guy sport.

This is true. In high school all the No Limit kids used to give me swirlies and pull my pants down in front of the hot girls while they mocked the size of my genitalia. All the "limit f*gs" were treated like this at my school, but I got it the worst since I was the bestest and hence, nerdiest limit player.

Yeah, those 1/2 cent no-limit players are way cooler then the nerdy 300/600 limit player!
