Limit vs No Limit Poker-2

I've been playing a lot of limit poker lately and have come up with some interesting figures. For one thing, I've found that limit poker gives me a ROI of about 50%. This is quite a bit higher than no-limit poker. For the same amount of buy-in, a limit game returns a much larger profit than a no-limit game. I think this is because the buy-in requirement in a limit game is so much lower and therefore alows you to play in lager games.

I find that a limit game buy-in should be about 10 times the big bet. A no-limit game should require at least 100 times the big blind. So that a $200 buy-in gets you into a $10-$20 limit game and the same buy-in only gets you into a $1&$2 blind no-limit game.

But again this depends on your temperament and style of play. For some of us, I think limit play is the most comfortable and profitable.
