PNL Study Group Assignment #1
 

My local Borders and Barnes and Nobel don't have the books yet, but Amazon does and is the cheapest at $19.77. The Amazon link:

First assignment for Monday August 20, 2007 is the first two chapters of Basics: Odds and Outs and Bet Sizes.


We'll be doing a chapter a day until we get to harder stuff.

August 20: Odds and Outs and Bet Sizes
August 21: Stack Sizes
August 22: Pot Size
August 23: Commitment
August 24: Pot Control


Beginner questions more than welcome. Let's keep it friendly and hopefully make you some money.

Looking forward to it!

Matt

how about we summarize the lessons, open for questions, and let it go from there? any other ideas?

Link to etiquette/rules/plan for study group?

This the first I am participating in, so very excited and eager to participate.

So, when Aug. 20 rolls around what happens? Do folks start flooding in with questions, thoughts, situations? Hands that illustrate the examples (or violate them)?

What about prior to Aug. 20? Do we talk about stuff prior to then?

I'll hold back with my main question that I posted in the brew a couple weeks back** until we get there and will participate rigorously until then.

Thanks for doing this.

** Just to get people started on thinking (don't debate this, yet!) my question is regarding the SPR of 13 that is basically exactly what we get in the usual 100bb uNL game where we raise 4bb and get one caller for a HU flop. My question is if the most common situation we are in day after day is exactly the one that is identified as the worst situation shouldn't this change our general approach to the game?

Can this thread get linked up in the essential thread sticky so when it gets lost in the shuffle it can be found more easily?

Hmmm..this sounds interesting. I've read the book and love it. Would definitely like to delve even deeper though. Definitely looking forward to this!
