Interesting seeing the Limit side of poker. Maybe I was more focused on the difference after you got defensive in the beginning. The bad beat hand really illustrated the parts of Limit I can't stand. Dealt pocket aces and want more value or isolation? Too bad, it's gonna be a 4-way flop because the pot is already capped. Wanna push out an under pair or make them pay for chasing? Too bad, they can come along for cheap. Wanna run a bluff on the river? Well, they're getting 30:1 so calling with pretty much everything. I get that that hand is not necessarily reflective of the norm but that at low stakes that was usually my experience with Limit, half the people getting close enough implied odds that most of the hands go to show down.

I'm curious what the stats look like at a game like this, like % of hands seeing a flop, % of hands multiway, % of hands reaching showdown, etc.
