Re: Why Do Most People on 2 + 2 play Limit...?
limit is a much better game to play. no limit is very difficult, the swings are HUGE compared to limit and its almost impossible to win at. stay far, far away from the online no limit games.

Re: Why Do Most People on 2 + 2 play Limit...?
I have recently switched to playing more limit online because there is more game selection, and higher possible winrates given the stakes. at PP, which is the only place I play, the highest stakes NL game is $200, which is going to give me a winrate comparable to 3/6 or so. that being said, I am considering moving over to the higher NL on ultimate bet.
big bet is fun because you can bluff and you go with your read and don't worry about folding the winning hand occasionally because you are usually only getting 2 to 1. limit is fun because you can drag monster pots and not lose a ton in ugly situations like set over set, which cost you your stack in big bet. btw, someone said something about the variance in big bet being huge. I completely disagree, variance in limit poker seems far higher to me. 100 big bet losses happen to limit players all the time, good big bet players very rarely lose more than 4-5 buyins. --turnipmonster

Most players play limit and so there are more juicy games to
choose from the limit tables than the PL/NL tables. Also, many 2+2ers probably played B&M where the cardrooms have mostly limit tables to begin with.

At the NL$50 I played $50 is 25BigBets or 125BigBets over 5 buy-ins Anyway, my standard deviation to date at low-limit is only 14BB/100 and I'm not that good. I can't imagine that losing 4-5 buy-ins at NL would leave me in better shape.

Re: Why Do Most People on 2 + 2 play Limit...?
I play NL and not limit, but I've read a lot of threads on here about this and most of my friends are limit players. Based on what I know, the swings in limit are definitly larger than in NL. I play a pretty wacky style of NL, but my swings are tiny for the most part.
