So then raise every single hand. I think its odd that limit players (I used to do this too) complain about how its just about stealing the blinds, as if that's a massive waste of time cuz its so little money, when they would **** themselves with glee if they could actually continuously steal the blinds in a limit game.

show any strength and everyone folds unless they have a good hand (which is usually better than mine).
Then bet every time you have a bad hand, and check every time you have a good one

In limit losing a pot doesn't really bother me as I know I can win it back, lose a pot in no limit an it could take hours or days of play to get back (if ever).
Really? If are stuck 100BB in your session at limit, whats the shortest amount of time you could play before youd be unstuck? If you are down 3 buy ins in a NL game, whats the shortest it it can take before you can leave unstuck?

Also it seems like I can only play hands in late position or I just get bullied out getting raised to the left.
I thought every time you raised, they all folded?

Even at the micros limits there is no action, I just don't understand how no limit can be fun to play, are these guys sadists or something, playing tight in limit is tough but playing for hours and never seeing a showdown because you have to fold all the time is like watching paint dry. Am I just supposed to play for hours waiting until a situation arises when I can stack someone with 2pair+?
I've no idea why no limit is so popular, do kids think no limit is "cool" and limit is boring (cos they saw Rounders) or something? Is it really worth throwing away good money attempting to learn how to play no-limit they way the online games are now?
If NL is no fun for you, then why are you bothering to play it? If you enjoy seeing lots of flops and showdowns then the answer is obvious, keep playing limit. If you are playing for profit and have decided NL is potentially more profitable, then who cares whether you enjoy it or not? If you cant play well (ie profitably) without simultaneously having fun, then NL is obviously not going to be the most profitable form of poker for you, and therefor you shouldnt play it.
