PNL & the Jocks vs Nerds issue

I made this tread asking them to make vol II more general but to then go ahead and write another book devoted entirely to 6-max. I believe 6-max deserves through treatment, but I think that vol II would be better if, like vol I, it is full of concepts that can apply to any NL situation.

I agree with you here, although I don't really think a 6 max book is needed. If you have a good understanding of no limit, then you have the ability to adapt. And you will then appreciate there not being a 6 max cookbook available to the public. I hope vol 2 will be like vol 1, with certain examples and sections relating to the 6 max arena to illustrate those general principles and adjustments in action. Helping to develop a well rounded understanding of poker that will help you adapt to any game or conditions.

I find it funny, all these people wanting books designed around various game conditions. Conditions that likely change over time, especially if cookbooks relating to those conditions are written. Learn to do it yourself by developing a fundamental understanding of big bet poker in general. Thats the kind of instruction that's best, and thankfully Matt and Sunny seem to be following that path. Doing it this way, rather than having a 6 max specific book available will prove much more beneficial and profitable.
