Default Re: Concepts from NLTP (28/29) - Advises to minraise

I don't have a lot of time to respond in detail to this, but I'll say that in general this all sounds pretty bad for online 6max games.

In these games, hands that are calling $20 more are generally calling 40 more as well. This is all player dependent but w/e. However, hands that are calling 40 more are basically never calling 110 more. That sounds pretty absurd but maybe I'm missing something. If you make it 55 or so v. 2 limpers with a decently wide range of hands, you can do so w/ big hands profitably w/o revealing the strength of your hands.

Also, in general, players who are limping in 6max games don't really give much thought to the cards you have.

I'm not even going to address the minraising concept. Suffice it to say that it just isn't good (in general). You're giving up some EV postflop and it has some effects on your image that I'd just rather not have to consider.


I think you'll find that most solid players around here don't reccommend that book. Sorry Ed and David.
