MH Stakes, NL vs. Limit - some basic questions comparing the two.

[Nigel]

I'm thinking about mixing in some NL play with LHE and have some questions about how the two games compare.

How big a game is 5/10 NL and 10/20 or 10/25 NL? In other words, how do these compare to LHE levels and what would be some conservative bankroll requirements for each level?

What type of swings can one expect in these games? What's a typical good day and bad day, and what are the extremes?

Would it be reasonable to start out playing NL at 5/10 or higher, perhaps playing a short stack, and expect to be able to at least be a small winner if you are a fairly competent LHE player?

Sorry if these questions are all quite basic, but I really didn't have any luck finding a similar thread even though one must exist.

Thanks,

Nigel
