PNL & the Jocks vs Nerds issue

[phydaux]

I'd like to start this thread by thanking Matt, Sunny & Ed for the excelent job they did on Professional No Limit. I'm looking forward to vol 2.

In other threads, many people have commented on what they want to see in vol 2. Several posters have stated that they would like to see vol 2 focus entirely on 6-max.

This is an extention on the whole 6-max vs FR issue, or what I have dubbed "the Jocks vs the Nerds." Some people don't like my name for the issue. All I have to say is that some people commenting one way or the other show far less maturity than I would expect from a typicle high school kid.

Vol I of PNL is excellent. Great job, guys. You have provided a framework for thinking about NL problems that readers can apply to any NL situation.

Now, you have stated that you have much more in you, much more that can be said about NL hold'em that currently just doesn't appear in print anywhere. I'm going to ask you guys to please keep going on the track you're going. Include as much broad spectrum information in vol II as you can.

And then, I'm going to plead with you to do an entire book dedicated to 6-max.

I'm asking this mostly as a FR player, not a 6-max player. I'd prefer PNL vol II to be a more general book, devoted to principles that apply to all NL situations rather than situations that only arrise on a 6-max table.

However, I do recognise that most pro cash game players play 6-max, since it offers them the greatest oportunity to outplay weak players after the flop when the mistakes are most expensive. Therefore, 6-max really does deserve in depth treatment. And I belive, after reading PNL vol I, that you guys are eminently qualified to address this huge gap in poker litrature.
