Re: NLHTAP Starting hands
[ QUOTE ]
I've read the disclaimers having to do with a "starting strategy". Am I to understand you never play AJo or ATo? I find this difficult to believe. Did I miss something?

You missed something.
Those hands are classified as "sometimes playable" along with KXs, suited 2-gappers, and offsuit 0-gappers.
They are playable in late position or against bad players. See p. 125.
The only thing that is ambiguous about the starting hand recommendations in unopened pots is how to play KQo in EP and MP. While it is an "often playable hand," it is completely left out of the positional recs.
I assume they intend it to be played like AQo and AJs/KJs/QJs, i.e. limp EP and raise MP.
