i'll jump into the fray:

-i'm not fond of playing limit, mainly, because i don't feel that i "can make something happen" like i can in a NL SNG (and i am getting very SNG-centric). my limit sessions usually consist of my stack getting run down, and then winning a big hand or two (big enough to beat the chasers) that replenishes it. i have a feeling if i weren't playing the lower limits, or if i sat down and played limit with the FTR crew, i would probably enjoy it a lot more. at least in NL, i know how to protect a good hand, and by god, if someone wants to mess with my good hand, i can make them really pay.

-i think to win at the lower limit tables, you have to be a good, somewhat tricky player (good for you jm and fnord). personally, i like the simplicity of being able to push all-in (if i can get some takers) pre-flop with AA or KK, or QQ when it's down to fewer players. i like playing other players stacks and cards, and picking on small stacks.

-if i was able to beat lower limit HE at this point, i'd be doing it. and it clearly is a beatable game - i'm just not there yet skill-wise or patience-wise yet.

my two chips.
