Why do many pros preferr limit to no limit?

i too think that limit might be more popular with good players as the variance is lower and you can grind out the profits....

no-limit you should be able to make more but the swings can be bigger... also, if the fish get aggressive and all-in pre-flop it can makes things fairly difficult. you can still beat them but they are taking away your weapons (intentionally or not).

vis-a-vis poker dying, i just don't see it. it will come off its peak if it hasn't already, but just sunday there were 4-5 guys at my fitness club (out of maybe 10 people total) gathered around a TV with no sound showing WPT (Vince Van Patten).

i think poker satisfies the needs of so many. gamblers, analytical people, fun-seekers etc.. i'd say it's here to stay in a big way.
