Yea I understand what you mean, but it reallly doesnt make a difference because although the limit bad beats are just a bit smaller than NL its going to be frustrating how often you run into them, and all those small ones will add up. (especially in low stakes where he would be playing)

Taking a bad beat in NL does suck, but as long as youre playing in your bankroll they are OK because that means youre going to double up your whole stack 3 or 4 other times in the same situation instead of win a couple more bets.

I guess Im getting away from the main point...thats just my preference for NL kicking in.

anyways, considering that the original poster is worried about having bad luck, limit will make it seem like his luck is even worse because we always remember the times we get outdrawn but not the times where our hands held like it should
