Limit vs no limit ?????

[Peteyweestro]

Other then the obvious differerances of pot totals and raise amounts is there a big difference in these 2 versions of hold'em in the way you should approach them or in the peeps that play them??

In my opinion these are two completely different games.

In limit your opening hand ranges can be much larger because you can better predict the costs to play the hand.

In limit you can afford to draw to flushes and straights because you can better predict the costs to do so.

In limit slow playing a monster rarely makes you much more money.

In no limit, top pair can try to protect itself from the flush or straight draw with a big bet.

In no limit, monster hands (quads, nut full house, nut flush, nut straight) have the potential to win a lot more money.

In no limit, bankroll variance is much more volatile.

I am sure this list could continue for quite a while.
