So this has deteriotated into a discussion of limping KK UTG early in a sng .... wow

I am guessing most of you in the heated argument have no clue as to what is important and what isn't in sngs

hint - get on the horse. I have little interesting S&Gs (even though I have the book) but its plain to see that he is right. The conversation is off track.

Hi Guys,

Both limping or raising KK/AA early in an SNG are both reasonable options. The key point is that ideally you want to get all your chips in the center pre-flop, but when you cannot accomplish this, it is important not to get wedded to your hand if you get multi-way action and do not improve. If the pot is small, you have multiple opponents, and you don't hit a set, you cannot hesitate to lay down an overpair in the face of substantial action. Particularly if deep-stacked post-flop poker is not a strong point, you should just let the hand go in these circumstances.

While the limp/raise debate is certainly a very interesting topic worth future debate, I think more detailed discussion might be better suited for an STTF thread.

Best Regards,
Collin

Apologies for my part in the KK discussion- I am interested in hearing what people have to say about this book and that's why I keep coming back to this thread- I just have a compulsive need to respond sometimes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ok, let's change the subject.

Hand 1-5 is totally wrong, start to finish.

Other than that, I like the book a lot so far ...

huh? lol

But point taken, probably too much discussion in a review thread.

Halfway through the book and I really like it.

For a 2+2 book, this has gotten some bad vibes sent out by the STTF crowd before it was even printed. At least read the book first.

Looks like a great book CM.

They're sulking because they weren't consulted. Given the level of analysis most of the rated players indulge in, I'm not very surprised.

Lol. If you think that the top sng players weren't consulted because of the strategy advice in STTF, then you are very disillusioned.

Also, the reason why STTF likes to see buy-in in the subject is because the first line of most post is:

"No reads."

So, the buy in is important in making assumptions on how the typical opponent is going to be playing.

However, if Collin is giving reads in his examples, I don't see how leaving out buy-ins in his examples could detract from the quality of the book.
