I also highly recommend a number of 2+2 books, just not that one because it's riddled with bad advice. It contains monkey logic like "you should sometimes open limp with aces to disguise your hand when you open limp with other stuff" which is the equivalent of "you should make one bad play to make another bad play less bad".

Not taking sides here at all, but are you suggesting that you should never open limp? If so, are you just referring to shorthanded games (fwiw, I would agree generally with that). Also are you suggesting you should NEVER open limp in a shorthanded game with AA? What about a situation where you are UTG and the player to your left raises 75% of all hands unless raised before him, in which case he calls a lot of the time but also folds more frequently than when hes facing one bet, and generally otherwise plays bad postflop. In this situation, would you not agree that open limping AA would be a good idea sometimes? (I understand this isn't Sklansky's rationale, but just wondered what your thoughts were?
