I agree he is taking a dig at 2+2, but I'm not sure it's entirely fair. I've made thousands of dollars playing poker thanks to 2+2. I'm a recreational player who has consistently beaten 30-60 hold em games the last few years and have ventured up as high as 80-160 with some success. I kind of agree with his point, though, that as the stakes increase, selective deviation from 2+2 strategy (based on the opponents, the nature of the game at a particular time, etc.) can be more profitable than strictly sticking to what S&M advocate.
I have no doubt, however, that sticking to basic S&M strategy will consistently beat most 30-60 hold em games.
Having said all that, Barry G beats the 4K-8K game at the Bellagio, so I suppose that entitles him to say whatever the hell he wants about other writers. Not many players have credentials that compare favorably with his when it comes to poker.
