Default Re: Theory - Late Stages

4CardStraight that's some serious good stuff. I must say I'm very impressed. I really like this especially because it's so damn true.

Most people have no idea just how tight you need to be in the first couple positions, due to the math odds of someone having a hand that dominates you, multiplied by the number of opponents yet to act. Secondly, most people have no idea just how wide you can open push from button or small blind with relatively small stacks. Third, those that do recognize how wide you should be pushing late often adopt a push any two strategy, and this only works for so long, since our opponents can adjust to our play.

I def play too loose up front, something I need to fix, but in LP I have a good feel for what hands are profitable to push at different stack sizes. Sklansky and Miller talks about it in "No Limit Hold'Em; Theory and Practice". It's something they call the Sklansky-Chubukov rankings. Have you heard about it? Also what buy-ins/limits do you play at?
