This is true, but it doesn't feel the same. Loosing your entire buy in in one fowl swoop is a lot different than loosing it 20 bucks at a time.

While the swing may be wilder in limit than NL, it doesn't seem to hurt as bad.

Yeah I agree the big bets make a real difference in the psychology of the game.

The games are just too punishing on weaker players.

Which is why there is a cap buy-in.

Indeed, I can do that with depressing regularity. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I've had a hard time every time I've tried to play NL ring games. I seem to do ok in tournaments and SNGs, but for some reason, I haven't been able to make the connection. I'm trying to build my roll in limit and SNGs, so I can afford the tuition for NL.
