I try to be very careful when reading advice about limit games compared to no limit games. In limit games, someone might say, "you should bet here," or, "you will always call a bet here." This is perfectly fine since the amount of the bet is known and can't change.
Limit is more rigidly defined than no-limit. Some of the guidelines for limit games only apply to very small bets in no-limit games.
No-limit decisions are basically limit decisions with small pots. A good example is in fixed-limit five card draw when it folds to the small blind who often [correctly] limps, and then a bet after the draw is worth slightly more than half the pot because of the rake.
And yes, the original quote was discussing limit hold'em. At a nine-handed table with loose players, you could have several limps with a raise to you, and then you 3-bet and it's two bets to all of the limpers, etc.
