Rob5775 and Kbflyer (and even kaiWalk) nailed it.  Limit Hold'em ring games means thinking long term.  Lots of players play too many hands and go too far with them.  But, those mistakes are what make you money in the LONG run.

In the short term, Limit can be frustrating when an old timer calls with with too bad cards and makes two pair on the River to beat the Aces that you raised with.  Or, when you raise with pocket K's and the old timer calls with A 7 off-suit and hits his A on the River.  Or...yada, yada, yada...lots of bad beats.

But, solid Limit players will suffer more bad beats in low stakes games than loose players, so get used to it.  But, if you can deal with the frustration in the short term, the bad players playing too many hands and going too far with them will make you money in the LONG run.  Be sure to tell your opponent "nice hand" when they suck out on you...it encourages them to continue playing poorly!

Read Miller, Sklansky, and Mallmuth's book on Small Stakes Hold'em.  And, in low stakes Limit games, when 7-9 players are regularly seeing the flop, you often need to treat big pocket pairs as drawing hands.
