Re: Limit vs. No limit in Vegas
Here in vegas, on a pure profitability standpoint, no limit is clearly the winner. However, with only $2000, you're mostly going to be stuck playing 1-2 with a $200 buy-in, or 2-5 with a $500 buy-in, and the latter is too high for only $2000. You could buy in for less (or play in the long line often times a rock garden bellagio $200 min/max game), but this isn't all that desirable.
As for having fun while in vegas, you might have more of that playing limit, as no limit can sure be boring as hell when you're not catching cards. At least in limit you see a few more turns and rivers, if a few less flops. For $2000 you should be able to play 6-12 and 8-16 just fine, as long as you don't take an ass reaming at 8-16 several sessions in a row.
I'd be game selective of course, and don't be afraid to jump around between limit and no limit, depending on the status of your roll and the softness of the games.
