Your mistake is thinking that all 15/30 games will be the same structure,when we cant even find matching structures online between poker sites let alone common structures between live poker rooms - and Sklansky properly explains how to adjust.

That was my point exactly, that a 15/30 game today is VERY different from the 15/30 game in SOR because the ante has tripled in size. You correctly state that the increased ante will induce more action, but a player who was successful waiting for premium hands in the old structure will be leaking money if he DOESN'T adjust.

As for Sklansky's advice on adjustments, he does show many cases where the strategies for the 15/30 game and the 30/60 game should differ, and we can extrapolate these structures to a more general "high ante" or "low ante" one at any level. There are some places tho where he gives blanket advice without considering the ante sizes or the action they may generate. I'll have to check my copy to cite you some page numbers.

BTW... what took you so long finding this thread??

I dont visit stud every day.

As for his "blanket advice", I don't recall a scenario where his advice didn't make sense if the pot was too small or reversed. As I said in the prior thread, show examples - so far you have not. People love to take pot shots at 2+2's work because its an easy way to make themselves look better in their own eyes or in the eyes of others. But to say that the book doesn't apply to todays games is ridiculous.
