Some differences between limit and no limit.
1. In limit poker primary draws almost always have the right pot odds, in no-limit agg opps can make drawing too expensive. It's easier to protect you hand in NL. For example, with AA I will often go all in on the flop if my opp has around 3x the pot or less. I fairly often get called and these opps are often making a big mistake by doing so not geting nearly the right odds.
2. Bluffing is more effective, and more costly when it fails, than in limit. The continuation bet is FAR more effective in NL than L.
3. Fast and slow draws. In no limit poker "fast" draws like small pairs that can flop hit a set often have strong value while in limit poker slow draws like straights and especially flushes have strong potential. The strength of suitedness is stronger in limit than no limit. This point is connected to point #1.
