This does however bring up an interesting point about your writings. An impression I get is that you put a lot of emphasis on the "skill to play loose." Perhaps in time you'll talk (and write) more about this area.

Best wishes,

Thats an interesting comment. Deep down inside every solid tight aggressive hold'em player is a loose player dying to break free of the shackles of oppression. I have personally (to both my benefit and to my detriment) experimented with loose and totally blind play to further explore my boundary's and understandings of my opponents as a whole. Although I know fully this is a silly chip-spewing exercise, I have also found it almost zen-like in a long term unprofitable way. If nothing else it gave me a better understanding of how to counteract my loose opponents by putting myself in their shoes.

As an author of books that strive to train students to play in a manor that is profitable in the long run, do you feel there is some benefit to understanding the loose aggressive mentality through personal experience? Do you feel it would be irresponsible for Barry to encourage this exploration?
