I am headed to Reno for the first time.
Would like to play 3-6 or 4-8 limit holdem.
Any recommendations where to play are appreciated.

Unless you don't mind getting sucked out on (i.e. you're willing to treat it as an entertainment expense) and/or you have a very long time to let statistical advantage help you, I say don't play limit, or as I like to call it, no foldem holdem.

I've played a lot of live limit foldem. When you add in the rake, I find it very hard to beat in the short run unless you get hit by the deck.

I've been in a 5/10 limit game where players seriously thought backdoor flush draws were legitimate drawing hands. Play it at your own peril.

Thank you for your input.
I understand what you are saying.

My question is: is this any more perilous than facing an all in bet from someone who may or may not be bluffing?

Less perilous than facing an all-in because your whole stack isn't at stake. But in NLHE at least you have more control of what price you charge the chasers to draw out on you. In LHE, you have virtually no control after the flop, especially in multi-way pots.
