Default Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread

By the way, to continue with comments on that Card Sharp review, I found the rest of the paragraph I quoted to be humorously bad.

"The real solution, at least for medium to deepstack games, is to adjust your starting hand selection to put more emphasis on making the nut, semi-bluffing, and outright bluff, and less on making top pair."

This is no "solution" at all. It doesn't help you in the slightest for playing top pair hands. What the hell does "adjust your starting hands to put more emphasis on making the nut..." etc mean exactly? Fold AK preflop? Or can you play AK as long as the flop is AAK? What exactly is he trying to say? It's complete nonsense and as I said isn't even close to a "real solution". SPR strategy at least addresses this difficult problem. There is no perfect or cookbook strategy, needless to say.
