ChezJ is an unknown quantity at this point
 I just tried the $25 NL at PartyPoker for the very first time in my life. HOLY CRAP it was easy. I mean, holllllyyyy crraappp!! I was walking all over these people like they were made of matchsticks. Any bet over $1 and they all fold! Except, I did find one SUPERFISH who played every single hand and called me down no matter what I had. WOW he was profitable. He turned my $25 into $80 within 30 minutes!!! Prime examples follow....

------

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $25 (10 handed) converter

SB ($24.75)
BB ($21.87)
UTG ($19.8)
UTG+1 ($17.75)
Hero ($34.05)
MP1 ($9.6)
MP2 ($5.02)
MP3 ($46.57)
CO (SUPERFISH) ($15.7)
Button ($55.6)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A, K. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1, 3 folds, SUPERFISH calls $1, 3 folds, UTG calls $0.75.

Flop: ($3.35) 6, Q, 5 (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $2, SUPERFISH calls $2, UTG folds.

Turn: ($7.35) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $4, SUPERFISH calls $4.

River: ($15.35) K (2 players)
Hero bets $0.25, SUPERFISH calls $0.25.

Final Pot: $15.85

Results:
Hero has A K (one pair, kings).
SUPERFISH has 3 4 (one pair, threes).
Outcome: Hero wins $15.85.

(Obviously, I missed some value on the river but I knew he was crushed and I just wanted to see what he had, so I bet a tiny amount that I knew he could call.)

CO ($32.2)

SB ($22.41)
BB ($46.22)
UTG (SUPERFISH) ($14.05)

SUPERFISH calls $0.25, 3 folds, CO calls $0.25, Hero raises to $3.25, 2 folds, SUPERFISH calls $3, CO folds.

Flop: ($7.10) T, K, 7 (2 players)
SUPERFISH checks, Hero bets $6, SUPERFISH raises $4.80 (all-in), Hero calls $4.80.

Turn: ($17.90) J (2 players)

River: ($17.90) 2 (2 players)

Final Pot: $17.90

I switched to NL this month and am having one of my best months to date. The biggest variance I've seen so far in the 50NL is 3 buy ins and I'm playing very aggressive. I am sure the variance will get higher, lets just hope it never finds me.

 Do you now understand why people who play NL find limit similar to slamming their face into a wall?

Its not ALways that easy, but enough of the time to be clipping by at 10+ BB/100 if you know what you're doing.

Nah, No limit has some huge swings too. I am a winning player and I have managed to drop almost 20 buyins on 2 different occasions.
