I haven't read your book yet, and I'm not really looking to take shots at you, but, the title is "Professional NLHE". This implies a certain degree of sophistication beyond beating $1/$2 live. Are you saying it's in fact a beginner's book? Then why doesn't the title reflect that?

CMAR,

If you don't like the title of our book, I can accept that. But do me a favor - read it first, read the SPR stuff, read the example (a live $2-$5 example), read who the intended audience is (beginners striving to be professionals) and then make your vehement comments.

Your point is that bad loose players will call small re-raises but not big ones. Then why would you think MP1 would ever fold?

I was referring to the player who has already raised, not a player coldcalling a raise and a 3-bet.

Against bad players, meh, but you don't have to fall victim to fancy play syndrome and put yourself in such vulnerable positions in order to beat them.

The play is not fancy. You limp with KK in EP in a live $2-$5 game, and then when the button raises (which indicates a fairly wide range) you reraise to an amount that creates a good stack-to-pot ratio for postflop commitment/maximization, keeps him in the pot with the dominated portion of his range (the portion you stand to make the most money off of when he commits - which he WILL do with hands like top pair), and either gets the pot HU or makes it unprofitable for MP1's range to coldcall.

I'm not really sure what we're debating anymore. If anyone else has any other book-specific questions, there's a review thread in the Books forum.

Thanks,

Sunny
