I respectfully disagree.  Even with a low or very low blind structure,
no-limit poker requires different sets of skills than limit poker.  Yes, you
can beat it with a "solid game" if your opponants are bad enough.  But that
solid game is a *different* solid game than limit.  Sitting around waiting
for AA AK KK QQ and JJ and then betting strong will not reliably beat a
no-limit game.
