I don't see why Mike Sexton is making such a big deal about Sklansky going all in with 55 after getting re-raised. It was 3 handed. It's tough to lay down a pair when the blinds are so big. Villian could easily have been re-raising with Ace-big.

He also questioned Sklansky for moving in w/66 when he was desperately short-stacked. What is Sexton advocating? Fold 66 with 6-8 BBs left (maybe less)? He had enough chips left to fold 55 there so a laydown is possible, but is it correct to assume you are up against an overpair?
In both situations, Sklansky would have been last to act after the flop so the stop and go wasn't an option (I don't think Sklansky had enough to push someone off the hand on the flop anyway).
Again, what is the right move according to Sexton? With the chip stacks plus the insane structure, is there anything you can do other than just stick it in preflop?

Sexton's overemphasized point was that you want to have at least SOME FE, whcih he does not in the hand with the 66.
What he failed to point out is that the more you let your stack dwindle and dwindle, the less chance there is that you'll ever conceivably be in a situation that might offer any FE.
