Re: Tanenbaum or Stox?
Stox's hand ranges are based on a more disciplined approach to the game. I wouldn't call his recommendations particularly tight as you will approach the 30/20 game that is recommended here on 2+2 (maybe 28/19 if you only play 6-handed). In my opinion and as pointed out by nomdeplume the essence of mid-stake play and higher is blind stealing and defense. This is loosely covered in the D&B book. Also if you actually crunch the hand ranges recommended in both books they work out to within a percentage point in terms of VPIP. (I'm a big enough dork to have done this).
