I love this type of post. I just started playing 6 max and only have about 20,000 hands under my belt, so this stuff is great...

I have a clarification question. Sklansky says that the following hands (in order) are in Group 3 - 99, TJs, JQs, KJs, ATs and AQ. Does the question the OP asks mean that the four suited hands listed ahead of AQ are included in his "range?" What about the Group 2 hands of AJs and QKs?

In HU play, I would rather have AQ than any of the suited hands mentioned above (I think...)

The probability of having a Group 1, 2 or 3 hand (plus 88) is 7.39%. If you take out those "questionable" suited hands above, the probability is 5.58%. Not a huge difference, but just wondering...

In the 20,000 hands that I have played at 200 6 max, I see very few good players with a PFR of 7%. In fact, only 8 out of the 115 players with at least 200 hands against me have a PFR this low (and only 2 of those are "winners."

I am really trying to learn this game and figure out why I should do something, but I need to understand the question completely to have it really sink in.

Thanks for your help.
