Default Re: NL v. limit

IMO the gulf in skill between good and bad players is WAY larger in limit. In the long run, a poor limit player is in far more trouble against a superior limit player than a poor NL player is against a poor NL player. In limit, the poorer player has no way to reduce the edge the superior player has in post-flop play, which he can eliminate in NL simply by going all-in. In the end, he will be crushed.

Going all in doesnt reduce someones edge. All it does is negate any positional advantage your opponent has. Bad players by definition will go all-in at bad times where they are way behind. If anything going all-in for a bad player increases the good players edge. Play the $25 buy-in, you see a lot of really donkish stuff.
