a terrific book because of the SPR sections. now when i read threads, i often want to respond, "your preflop raise size is wrong."

with that said, i will offer a criticism.

thank you and fire away!

the SPR stuff is repeatedly touted by the authors because it makes postflop play easier. but at our stakes, 99% of our opponents play straightforward. so we don't have to worry much about being put in awkward situations when our SPR is 14 or whatever, because our opponents are generally easy to read - they take the same lines over and over and my db of a few hundred thousand hands confirms that (check-minraise = big hand, donk = crap, open shove when flush hits = flush, double barrel is a real hand, pf reraise is AA-KK/AK sometimes QQ, etc).

that is more than awesome. and true. SPR will help more against your 2+2 opponents and when you move up, but for now mostly you gotta play more hands.

would you believe 5-10 6-max nl on Party started that way? it was incredible. you'da killed it.
