Re: Beyond Sklansky-Chubukov
The SC ratings are flawed unless you are playing against a random hand. You should look up the rating of your hand against his calling range, which is what you are trying to do. This will determine your range to go allin with.
This is why a hand like A9o does well in SC rating, even though it is dominated most of the time. 45s is a better allin hand imo while it does no do very well in SC ratings. This while A9o has a rating of 81.7 45s had only 4.85.
Against AA-JJ, AK-AJ, KQs... 45s has a 33.5% equity and A9o 27.5%... See how this does not correlate to the SC numnbers? The part after the explanation tells you when to use the ratings and when not to.
