Re: Slansky- Preflop raises should differ based on the hand
[ QUOTE ]
I don't have the book yet (damn mail!), but reading the header of this topic is kinda amusing. If pre-flop raises should differ based on the hand, why not show the hand to everyone on the table?
Giving away information like that can only be done if you also add a certain percentage of pre-flop bluffs, otherwise it's just plain stupid.
I hope this book is not just another attempt to make the fish more predictable for the pros.

One of the main objectives from the p/f raising chapter was to dispute the notion that you should always raise the same amount regardless of your holdings/situation/limpers/etc. They are basically debunking the theory that says "always raise the same amount to avoid giving information away."
It goes on to give advice on what to factor in when sizing your bets. It does not say things like "always raise 3x with AA/KK, 5x w/medium pockets, etc."
