So you no longer believe that the best players play the high limits?

This is a strange thread. Of course players in general are better as limits go up. This doesn't mean there aren't any bad players at high limits or that there aren't any good players at low limits.

To the original post, I agree that the limit in itself is only useful to give a basic context to people that are familar with a particular limit/game. Much more important is the texture and quality of play of the game you are in.

That said, if I'm forced to make any difficult decisions during the first few hands of a session against unknown players, the limit being played will certainly influence my thinking about those decisions -- because I'll likely have previous experience about how players at that limit play in general.
