Re: The Poker Tournament Formula by Arnold Snyder...

Yeah, I read quite a bit yesterday at Barnes & Nobles.
Any book for low limits I would be interested in as I don't play 215.00 tournaments, and above.
Still, the advice is just so different than norm. I was hoping someone caught some of it. He's really big on feeling that Hold 'Em is a complex version of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Rock = chips. Paper = Cards. Scissors = Position.
So, he's saying:
Chips beat Position
Cards beat Chips
Position beats Cards
My thought is...oftentimes you have two of those three against your opponents, or they have two of those three against you. If I'm the CL on the button, it's folded around to me, and you're a less than average stack in the BB, and I have AA, then I suppose I have all 3. Still, you CAN fold to my raise. And, when he's talking about position beating cards, he's also talking about being able to minimize your loses better in position as opposed to OOP I suppose.

What's his explanation for chips beating position? Is this for preflop or postflop play? It seems like this would apply in limited situations where you are considering bluffs after the flop.
