Limit can be frustrating with respect to getting your overpairs cracked. I posted on here a few days ago a night where I came to a limit table with $200, got all the way down to betting my last $6 on a hand, only to win it all back and leave the table with $202.

In the process of getting down to my last bet I had AA once, KK twice, QQ twice and JJ twice and lost EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE HANDS! That has never happened to me ever, at any level or game type.

So, yes, limit hold 'em can be extremely frustrating which is why you have to be prepared for the variance that you will inevitably experience. However, if you stick to your gameplan and are willing to absorb the swings there is money to be made at limit hold 'em.
