Re: Limit or No-Limit?

Blarg, in a $2/$4 game, the BB is $2 and therefore 2 x 100 = $200. You must of miscalculated the $2 for being the small blind. But the small blind is really $1.

The first step towards picking your game of choice is understanding all poker terminology that you are using.
BB = Big Bet
If I were to play limit, (I strictly play NL now), I would never sit down with less than 20 BB online. It's all a comfort level in limit because as long as you have the money on the table to cover the full play of a hand (all the way to the river without being allin in other words) then it doesn't matter how much money you have on the table.
On the other hand, in NL - I would never ever buy in for less than the maximum allowed. Doing this cripples yourself because the amount of money in front of you determines exactly how much you can win off a single opponent.
Quoting myself to a poor hapless fish tonight when he showed down his AA :
"Makes you wish you had more than $4.36 in front of you, eh?"
