limit vs. no-limit

Is this the English grammar forum????

I enjoy limit more than no limit because I feel that there are smaller swings, which can account for a smaller bankroll. And for where I am right now, that's perfect.

I also notice that a lot of people say that you can't scare people away from the flop as much in a limit game because of the limited betting. But I find that in limit games people will lay down marginal hands much more often, because you can't win one huge hand and win it all back. When you do get a hand, you don't win nearly as much as you do in NL, and that forces you to tighten up your playing style.

Limit does frustrate me because you can't knock people off the draws. If you have a made hand and are in last position, people will check to you if you raised or bet on a betting round, so they do not have to call 2 bets. So most of the time your good hands don't pay off.

In no limit, I am always looking to double up and dominate the smaller stacks. Sometimes it backfires on me but for the most part I am able to win pots by throwing too much money around or have other players make wrong decisions.
