LOL @ you boys!
I was about to complement Jez on his very even-handed reply till I saw his pictures
I agree with most of what Jez says, but there are some subtleties. There is plenty of bluffing from good limit players, but you have to be very careful about picking your moment, as it isn't that expensive to call an individual bet. However, this effect in reverse makes you a lot of money. You will get many value bets called by weak players. People are usually not, in fact, getting correct odds to draw out on you - so you generally make money when they try!
regarding the number of hands played, a good limit player will typically have a VPIP (a poker tracker term!) of around 25% at a 10 handed table. I'd suggest there are very few good NL players playing tables of 10, with a VPIP this high.
Overall they are both just very different games. I enjoy both, along with several other poker variants. I would agree though with Jez, that limit is a good starting place - as you can learn a lot about basic poker play, pot odds etc, and at the low levels a very mechanistic approach can keep you out of major trouble. NL isn't as forgiving for a beginner.
