Not necessarily fewer or more, but I play different hands, and I play them in a different way. Without writing an essay, that's about as concise of an answer I can give.

I think you need to be more selective with Limit, as you'll more often be going to showdown where the best cards win. You also don't get the implied odds in the same way as you do in NL, making hands like medium suited connectors less playable. On the other hand, it's cheaper to draw to a straight or flush.

Basically, in limit...

- High cards go up in value, suited connectors and low pairs go down in value. This doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't play them in limit, if the table is loose/passive enough and the circumstances are right go with it, but your implied odds take an obviously huge hit in limit.

- It's correct to call with a much wider range of hands in the blinds, because of pot odds and the fact that position, while still important, is nowhere near as crucial as in NL.

Bluffing is hard in fixed limit cash games. People will draw like mad, and you are the only one betting with your top pair on the flop, good luck getting the other 3 callers to fold their draws

Do you necessarily want them to fold their draws?

Implied odds are everything in no limit.

In fixed limit, specially low limit, there is almost always a shutdown, but if you play higher limit (3$ 6$, 5$ 10$) people seing the flop is very little, and every time you can bluff.
Only 50% of pot finish in a shutdown.
