- Learn the check/call (generally on the river) and use it often, dont lose bets by betting and then calling raises

This is fine as far as it goes, but NL players tend to check the river OOP way too much in limit games. In a tourney, you need to be a little more careful, but you need to value bet the river much more in limit than in NL. Worse hands call on the river far more often in limit than in NL.

Also, and this may be too little too late, in a limit tournament (as opposed to a limit ring game) you almost never enter a pot preflop for one bet. If you're going to play, raise. Limit is fundamentally a much more aggressive game.

A good way to look at what works in limit is to listen to what limit players say about making the transition to NL. One excellent limit player said his problem with NL is that he loses a lot of money with 1-pair hands. That alone tells you a lot about how to be successful at limit.
