Dude, you shouldn't put too much stock in Sklansky's hilarious percentages. To know that it was 56% likely that someone had QT, you'd have to know their range precisely, you'd have to know what they will and won't raise with exactly, and you'd have to know precisely how often they would bluff you. If you can figure out all that precisely, you are going to make a HUGE amount of money from poker.

I'm glad somebody else has noticed that.

When I first got a couple of his books they drove me mad with examples that talked about the cards the opponent has.

I wanted to grab him by the lapels and tell him; "If I knew what cards my opponent had I wouldn't need to read books to make money at poker".

There are far too many example based on what your opponent has and advice that included things like "depending on your opponent" and far too little advice about the most important things to observe and how to correlate them to provide useful intelligence about an opponents likely future behaviour.
