I don't think that's a judgement vs Limit tourneys - wonder if he feels the same way about NL ring games.

I gotta admit, I've been paying a lot more attention to tourneys then limit holdem - it's sorta more entertaining - some folks like the competition factor more and the fact a guy can come in 1st appeals to a winner's instinct more then "it's all one game" and "1.5 BB/hr is a good return for your money"

Agree.
I'll add: Limit holdem is about praying for the combination of good cards and running well.

Limit is more about waiting on great starting hands and being aggressive with them and hoping they hold up. No limit is more about putting your opponent on a hand, then using this information to extract more $$$ or push them off, depending where you fall.

If you like to wait for big hands and playing a mathmatical game then limit will be your game. If you like a more psychological game the no limit if for you.

Personally, I like shoots and ladders. Now there's excitement.
