No-Limit Versus Limit Games

From In The Money: Strategies for Winning Texas Hold'em Cash Games by Antonio "the Magician" Esfandiari

Being a winning poker player is all about making the right decisions. In order to make those right decisions, you must understand the differences between Limit and No Limit Hold 'Em. If you are going to play both, you must know the correct strategies for each. Many players move from Limit to No Limit Hold 'Em and fail to adjust their play, which can have disastrous consequences on their bankroll. While we will go over the specific strategic differences in subsequent chapters, I would like to take the opportunity here to discuss some of the general fundamental differences between no-limit and limit cash games. Limit Hold 'Em is more of a science. If you have a good understanding of the starting-hand requirements and know your pot odds, you can do well. Know what hands to play from early, middle, or late position. When you have a strong hand, you want to maximize your value while protecting your hand. In other words, you want to play more "by the book."
