Default Re: Comparing WLLH 3rd edition to 2nd edition

Hi binions:

I won't get into many specifics but I do disagree with much of this. Here's one example:

In early position unraised pots, he now says to fold QJs, JTs, A9s and 88/77

As we have pointed out for years, WLLH is targeted for low limit games which usually feature many players who play too many hands and go too far with them. I can't see how any of these hands won't show a profit in games like this when you can initially come in for a limp.

I completely agree.

In low limit games where 4-6 people see the flop, I don't see how you can fold middle pairs and suited cards that add to 20 in unraised pots.

I like Barry T, but does he play low limit holdem? These new starting hand guidelines seem more appropriate for tighter, tougher games.
