The idea during these fixed limit games is to help players stay in the game by not going bust (sort of a "protection" for the weaker players). Allowing a play that makes it easier to go bust would be against the nature of a fixed limit game.

Ahhh...so now limit poker is no longer a different game than no-limit, it's just training wheels until you are ready for no-limit.

How on earth you made that inference from the post you're replying to is an utter mystery to me.
Limit poker keeps SOME players, the fish, in the game longer. That's not up for debate. It has nothing to do with your knowledge of poker or what poker game(s) you plan to play.

This is why card rooms do not like spreading NL. They spread it most palces becasue the guests come in and that is all they want to play, but a lot less money goes down the rake in NL. The restricted buy-in games make it a little more like limit, so this keep the guests form busting as fast as they would in a standard NL game.
