Default Re: Help me to understand PNLH (p199)

[ QUOTE ]
Triggerle: SPR is a way to link preflop action and postflop action. That example is about creating a SPR by taking one preflop action (limping) instead of another (raising). It isn't just a "post flop example" like you think it is; like the book says "Preflop and postflop play are never independent" (p168). Knock down your mental wall!

Kurto: Ever since I started playing 6max all I've heard was "Never open limp; raise or fold." Now this book presents a different view, one that I've literally never heard advocated by anyone playing at any stakes. I didn't understand the last half of the book very well on the first read through, but I am trying to, so I am looking for help.

Would you open limp KQo there at a table full of unknowns?

I wouldn't. I'm usually totally nitty preflop in early position. If after I've been at a table for awhile and I realize there's little raising preflop, I might start limping with speculative hands in Early Position. Even more so if I see the opponents playing very poorly and calling down with very subpar hands.

That being said, I personally don't usually play KQos utg 6 handed.
