The beauty of limit poker

Yesterday, I played my first ever Limit Stud Hi/Lo tournament. I was familiar with Stud Hi/Lo, as it's one of the games in 8-game tournaments, but I'd never played a tournament devoted exclusively to it. As with Razz, I had a ton of fun, and made the money. I started my poker career playing limit poker, and playing it again is like being reunited with an old friend. There's a beauty to limit poker which no limit poker can't equal. Don't get me wrong, I won't stop playing no limit, but I'm going to play less of it, and more of limit. Limit is rejuvenating my enjoyment of poker :-)
