Hey pokerfanatic,

I'm like you, I'm a limit player that knows a fair amount about no-limit and dabbles in it. From the hands you posted, you had lousy luck. From talking to the floor guys at my local casino, the NL games there are basically a bunch of trappers with a bunch of fish. Everyone set farms. That's not my game (BORING!!!), so I stick to the limit tables. If you can make a big bet or 2 an hour at 9/18, what's the point of playing $100 buy-in NL? Aside from a little variety and fun, you are not going to make as much money. The casinos I play at (st. louis area) only have $300 and $500 buy-in NL (state law <$500/2hrs buy in).
