Small Stakes or Low Limit?

So what is the difference between "small stakes" and "low limit" poker? The short answer is that there isn't one...

Lee Jones coined the term Low Limit poker in his successful book Winning Low Limit Holdem and "Noted Poker Authority" Ed Miller uses "small stakes" to describe the same game in his book titled Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big with Expert Play. In general "low limit" usually corresponds to any game with a big blind smaller than $5. At live rooms in brick and mortar poker rooms, the lowest of the low limit games are usually $1/$2.
