Re: What poker game should I focus on (limit HE, pot Omaha, etc.)
Obviously you don't like variance. So you should avoid PLO and short-handed anything like the plague (though if you do learn how to play them well and have the appropriate roll for a given level they will be more profitable long term). But your variance should be less in nl than limit. However the reason you are probably finding the higher level you went to frustrating is that you aren't practicing good game selection. A table full of nl rocks playing only pairs and AK and yourself doing the same doesn't make for a good game. But with accounts on multiple sites you should still be able to find good games if you make the effort.

Lol. I just rediscovered NL and have been playing the $100 games with just this strategy. Been working pretty good ... how long can I get away with it?

This is a good way to play NLHE, actually. In fact, this is why it's such a faddish cash game: as soon as enough players discover this strategy, the games break up for a while. Then, a few years later, everyone forgets and NLHE comes back.

Re: What poker game should I focus on (limit HE, pot Omaha, etc.)
Quicksilvre is 100% correct.
The answer to how long your strategy will grind out a small profit at the lower limits (.50/1 thru 2/4, maybe 3/6) is simply this. As long as there are games, your approach will beat those games; you won't win much but you'll win at a very steady pace - swings will be minimal. Keywords: As long as there are games By the end of '06 there will be far fewer games of N-L online and most of those that remain will either be very small (.25/.50 or thereabout) or tough for the non-expert to beat - "good" will no longer get it done at what few games off 5-10, 10-20 blind that survive. N-L is the "in" game - TV is a powerful ally. * I have written here of both my distaste for and my failure to excel at N-L; those of you choose to use these as excuses to take my euology for N-L with a grain of salt be my guest. Meet 'ya back here in 365 days - I'll bring my "what was I thinking" tee-shirt. I said I'll BRING it - be assured I won't be wearing it.
