If it's boring it means you're playing it better than most people.

I like playing limit a lot more.

It feels like I can play a lot more hands profitably in limit, but no limit goes more like:

fold fold fold fold limp/fold fold fold fold limp/call/fold fold fold fold fold fold fold raise/win blinds fold fold fold raise/reraise/all in/call.

In limit there is more blind stealing/defending...more fun IMO.

No matter the stake, there's nothing more fun than having your top set/PF AA/nut straight check-raised in NL...In limit, even against the dullest player, you'll only get a few bets.

yeah but in no limit the wpt douchebag that c/r you takes 37 mins per decision, meanwhile you are sitting there scratching your butt. In limit there is a flurry of chips being thrown in the pot, much faster and more fun.

nothing worse than folding for two hours in a row and watching every hand take seven minutes.

In NL you can play every hand and be profitable. That is virtually impossible at limit.
