my question is: can you achieve a higher winrate playing limit or NL at, say, the 1/2 blind level? 3/6? the winrates eventually come down, for most, to about a 2ish/100 from what i've heard/read/experienced. the higher you go in levels, the higher the skill level, thus, the smaller your edge, and the closer the game gets to breakeven.....except for the truly elite.

now, if you honestly thought about your winrate at those stakes, what kind of bankroll do you need to carry in limit vs NL? and, tell me which bankroll you will achieve first? wouldnt it then make sense to make roughly the same amount of money, with less of your roll at risk, and clear off rakeback/bonus money faster?

(this is a mid-stakes thought process, but i think it holds water)
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
