Since you can only bet the size of the pot, the biggest skill associated with PL much more than NL is building a pot during the hand. Unlike NL, you can't trap as well with going check, check, bet big, because if you check, check, then the pot is pretty small, so you can't bet big.

Also, bet size variation is a good bit less in PL. Cloutier/McEvoy advocate in their book "Championship No-Limit/Pot-Limit Holdem" to ALWAYS bet the size of the pot in PL to a) not give away the strength of your hand and b) build a pot.
