Default Re: Alan Goehring on min raising - do you agree?

Where's your advantage? If you're Goehring (and I'm not, you're not, very few people are) you have a tremendous advantage post-flop. You can afford to let people see the flop more cheaply because you can and will outplay them after that. Goehring will get away from hands that most people simply won't. He's also talking about a tournament with much deeper stacks than those we typically play online. This again is clearly advantageous to someone who can outplay post-flop as without deepstacks you just can't get involved with lots of hands with any amount of post-flop aggression.

It's almost like taking an NFL playbook to a Pee Wee Football team. We're talking about two totally different games played by people of completely different calibre.
