[Knockwurst]

I have just gotten to this section in NLHTP, and I think it and the previous section on when to call an all-in have done nothing short of revolutionizing tournament poker for us who count ourselves among the great unwashed masses.

While the S-C section and the section on when to call an all in may have been information known to professionals, laying this information out for the rest of us will have a huge effect on narrowing the gap between the amateur and the professional much like Kill Phil strategy has, though the former involves much more finesse in a sense.

What S-C has done is allow a player to determine when it is strategically viable or correct to go all-in with whatever particular cards you are dealt. Yes, you don't need S-C to figure out to go all-in on the button with 99 if you are short stacked, but what about T7, 84, etc. The two assumptions you take issue with are in order to demonstrate that even if your opponent has perfect knowledge and knows you are using S-C, it will still be correct to move in when the blinds (and antes) are a certain percentage of your stack even with hands you normally wouldn't move in with. Thus, it will be correct when your opponent has less than perfect knowledge.

What I want to know -- If you're not particularly short-stacked (maybe the upper range of the S-C numbers)is S-C a useful tool for blind stealing on the button and small blind, and can it be used for restealing?

Again, I'm on my first read-through, and if I'm missing the point entirely, please disregard my comments.
