Default Limit for learning?

I have always been a No-limit player. At the moment I have a small BR. I was wondering if its a good idea, to learn about pot odds, probability etc., to spend some time playing low limit? And also to build up a reasonable BR. Did anyone start off limit and progress to no-limit, and feel they are all the better for it? Or maybe people find that if you are used to No-limit you should stick to it?

depends. do you just play no-limit because you enjoy it, or are you good at it? in low-limit games you have to play a different brand of poker - less implied odds, way less bluffing, building top pair-type hands instead of bigger hands.

and how small is your bankroll? you may want to try out some online deposit bonuses to build it up.

Not to come off as a jerk, but...

I suggest to you to learn these before you play again (any kind of poker). If you don't know statistics/odds, you don't know poker. They are absolutely vital. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Most any 2+2 book will do.
