Re: I am still confused
I agree with the earlier poster who said that the "any 2 cards on the button" thing is being overhyped. The point really is that with your slide through the "zones" accelerated, you have to use more tricks than just playing weaker cards more aggressively, as Harrington recommends. You can't just start playing even worse cards, you have to look for different opportunities, and that's what Snyder's going for. Everyone knows position can be an advantage, Snyder's just saying the faster your slide would be through the zones, the more you have to play these other opportunities. The button is the best position there is and this is not a tournament tactic per se. What he's saying is "use such tactics more now".
A quote from a recent 2+2 trip report:
The Asian guy is good. After he bets the Jewish kid out of a pot, the following dialogue transpires:
Jewish Kid: "What'd you have? Kings? Aces"
Asian Guy: "Don't worry about it."
Jewish Kid: "You didn't have anything."
Asian Guy (picking up dealer button and twiring it around): "I had this. It comes around the table every ten hands. You should use it."
