With just 60 bucks you should not play higher than 5c/10c blinds. At fixed limit tables more players see the flop, so top pair hands go down in value and hands that can make real monsters will rise in value.

I agree you should play 5-10c limit maybe 10-20c at the most. However if I were you I wouldn't go by what shokaku said about what hands to play. In limit holdem big cards go up in vlaue and small pairs/suited connectors go way down. The implied odds just aren't there for trying to hit sets or straights/flushes do to the fixed betting structure. Contrary to what shokaku told you, top pair top kicker will frequently take down the pot. Also, when in position with a playable hand and someone raises in front of you, you should make it 3 bets to fold out the blinds and try and get it heads up between you and the original raiser. This not only gives you the lead in the hand but may also win you the pot if say you have 88 but he has 99 and the flop comes for example AK6 and he checks and you bet the flop. H e will probably fold his hand because you showed strength before the flop by reraising him rather than just calling. This differs from No Limit play in that in the same situation you should just call the raise because reraising could open you up to getting shoved on, causing you to have to fold your 88 without ever even seeing a flop.

Good for begginers, sure, but It won't pay as much as no-limit if you plan on master it, or spend a decent time reading, playing and learning in the way. The biggest problem with limit is you can't deny the pot odds to your opponents as they try to make their hand.
I hate PL: with your monster hands can see how 4 monkeys are calling all your bets with very very weak hands and finally one of them wins. Horrible even for low levels! I don't agree that's a good way to earn money. Maybe if you consider you own to the "monkey team"

So true. And it is no fun at all. No swings like in no limit. Just don't do it.
