Default Re: Slansky- Preflop raises should differ based on the hand

So you are asking: I am looking for comments on his suggestion that preflop raises should differ based on the type of hand you have. (your post isn't that clear IMO [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

I'm half way through too, and they (sklanksy and ed miller) suggest you raise more with some hands (small pairs if I recall correctly?) and less with others. On the other hand, they say somewhere that preflop stealing and preflop in general is not that important, because that is only a small part of the potential potsize in the end.

Doesn't that contradict eachother?

edit: In the sizing your preflop raises chapter they discuss: 1. deep stack raise sizing - big raises make big pots, and small raises make small pots
2. make bigger value raises against straightforward players - easier to read
3. make bigger raises against players who fold too much postflop, and 4. the opposite of 3
