Sure, everyone loves no-limit (me included), but the easiest money in poker is in low-limit fixed-limit games because people will chase chase chase. While the money is probably a bit easier in low-limit O8, this also applies to limit hold'em.

Limit hold'em isn't for everyone. You do have to be technically sound to play the game, and you also have to be extremely patient because you will most definitely take beats from the most random hands. You also have to know when to let hands go early, and be willing to stay aggressive even if the cards haven't been falling right for you. Most importantly, you have to exercise great care with your table selection and be sure that the conditions stay favorable to you. You'll get your ass handed to you one tiny bit at a time sitting at the wrong limit table, and that's a pretty horrible feeling.

There's a reason so many people grind out their bankrolls playing limit poker, and so many people go boom-to-bust playing no-limit. Learning to play limit poker well can be very profitable, and in the end makes you a much more well-rounded poker player.
