I completely agree with this and I wish the the No-Limit players would open there eyes and see that 5-10 LHE or higher is a much better and more profitable game than 1-2 NL I'd rather play 4-8 LHE with a kill, than 1-2 NL any day.

I do too. At my casino - they regularly now spread a $15/30 limit game and occasionally we get a $2-5 NL player (I also play $2/5 NL) that sits there waiting for a NL game. They go ON and ON and ON about what a waste of time and money limit hold 'em playing can be and I have never seen any of them walk away a winner - EVEN after winning a big pot on a draw, etc...

LLHE players are not weak-tight. They're weak-loose.

Not true. You can't lose a large amount on one hand but you can rack up hundreds of small losses. SD/WR ratios are higher at the low limits so long run is longer.

I'm a mainly NLHE/PLO player and I think limit games are awesome. It's just a pity because they don't run as much and it's a skillset that is harder to employ.

People who think limit games are shallow or not interesting are silly. In SOME ways it's less complex; there is a lesser variety of possible plays you can make, but the FREQUENCY of decisions are generally much higher in numbers, and you also get into far more marginal spots than big bet players do unless you play super LAG in big bet games.

I would say that playing/learning limit games have, because of these marginal spots, improved my big bet skills by a lot.

Most of the good NLHE/PLO players I know have played a lot of various mixed games/limit games in their own time (mostly online) too, and respect those skills. Many of them love playing Omaha Hi Lo fixed, but admittedly do not have the experience and understanding to play at stakes where they will make anywhere as much as their NLHE/PLO games, so they don't.

As such I highly disagree with the idea that GOOD big bet players somehow do not respect limit games. That's only true with big bet players who think they are bigshots, but are extremely narrow minded as well, and I do not consider most of them to be "good" players. They exist on the same levels as limit players who think no limit is simple and it's just about shoving all in, and requires no sophisticated thinking. Clearly neither extremes are true, otherwise you'd jump to the other game and make a killing.

You're right No-limit does seem like bingo sometimes.

A better question is why don't people who start threads try spell check. Batter up.

Limit is nearly dead anyway, except in the smallest stakes. Long live no limit.
