I am looking for any kind of tips that you may have on limit holdem. I play it once in awhile , but I always seem to break even after many hours of playing no matter what stakes I play. If I could just get a little edge it would help greatly.

I play no limit but I like limit for cash games cash they can't price me out of the pot and I'll just call them down lol. Less bluffing involved in limit holdem, I suggest reading a limit book but you're interested.

i play not many limit hold'em games. but sometimes a couple Sjasta's on everest poker. one couple things what i know.. you can't bluff with limit hold'em. and when you have 2 pair.. and theire is a flush draw, and you know one guy is gambling on that..you can not bet so hard with limit, so he gambles and the most of the time he get it...

Read a book on Limit Holdem for details but this is summary. SCDosset told you the main point of limit holdem and those are the odds, pure and simple. Another thing in Limit HE which is very important, if you play with Limit HE players not some new NL players, is your reputation on the table. Once you have it you can even bluff oponents out of the pot. Dont bluff if you dont know what other player is holding, and youll know that soon by watching others hand selections.
PRIME DIRECTIVE: Do not enter the hand at all if you dont have strong cards, that way you wont lose money on small connectors. If youre new to limit HE and have account at Poker Stars, go to their 200/400 playmoney tables, find one that is not filled with maniacs and you will have solid game of poker. At least was that way when i last checked. In Limit HE it is better not to lose money because its hard to get it back.

There is extremely more bluffing in this game. Also, the value of suited connectors and small pairs are higher. And your aces are getting more cracked in this game.

i dont know how many hands u have played and are break even but it could still be variance ... i don't know how much strategy u learned so far and what stakes you play! so some more infos would be good but if it's just some hundred hands we are talking about than its only variance in my opinion

I can definitely say that there are very much less bluffing in limit and also less strategy involved, specially in those lower cash tables as the players there just tend to call.
