I strongly disagree for your reasoning for not playing NL ring game.

if there are calling stations in ring game, it should be matter of time before

you take their entire stack. After all, isn't that why the host of FTR

changed to NL? to punish the chasers? and about your AA comment, your

stack should have tripled up by the 3rd showdown, that even if you lose,

you should still have double your stack, and even if your aces get cracked

against another guy with 3x buyin, you should be happy that you had your

money in the middle while you had the 80%, not 50%.

trust me it's more frustrating to play limit with chasers because you can't

punish them for chasing their gut shots/ runner runner flushs.. you can

easily maniupulate the odds so chasing will make them go broke.

you should know by now that 200-bb swing is a common thing in limit

games and that the variance goes up to 300bb when there are 6 people

seeing the flop. I've read on 2+2 forums that limit has higher variance

than no limit for the same reason, because more chasers= more out

draws. if you are afraid to lose your stack in NL, you obviosuly have

insufficient bankroll, so I suggest you move to micro limit blinds games at

stars (1/2cent 5$ max buyin) paradise (2$ nl max) and etc.

Don't be afraid to put the money in the middle becase you are afraid of

getting chased. the odds is agasint them, not you.
