Default Re: A Question About Learning Big Bet HE

[ QUOTE ]
I haven't read their book, but this sounds like wierd advice. I don't know why you'd want to learn PL anyway because it isn't played that much. I have a hard time believing it plays a great deal differently to NL since the vast majority of bets in NL are pot size or below.

From what I understand, the biggest adjustment comes from PF play. It is much harder to set bad odds for others to follow you in in PL HE. Consider PL 50. blinds are .25/.5 You are UTG w/ KK and a big stack. You can't raise to more than 1.75 to go... wouldn't you rather make it $2 or more? I don't actually play PL, so I don't fully understand the ramifications...
