As someone who started trying to learn NL in my first year then switched to limit on the advice of some books I read I want to chime in with my vote on limit before no limit.

I won't go on about learning the math and the differences between each as has already been mentioned but I want to add that the next main very important skill I learned from limit. Card reading. I feel it is so vital to be able to put your opponent on an accurate hand and over all on a good range for what they play.

In limit so many more hands go on to showdown than in Nl that you can begin to see where your reads are. This can be a huge buildup in confidence. Common patterns in betting are easier to suss out and see in limit and unlike in Nl you will get to see your opponents pocket cards a great deal more.

Another problem which is much easier to work on in limit is self control. If you can get yourself to the point where after being drawn out on and investing so much into a pot yet you still will not pay off that last BB because you know you lost then your well on your way. IMDO

Anyway, while I'm down in playing NL, I have a great deal of confidence in my Limit game and that confidence carries over in my other games.
