[Bill Haywood]

This was one of my favorite magazine articles ever. Although people can easily differ with particular actions, what I really liked was the complex reasoning applied to the hands. People might justify different moves, but the general approach was complex and shifty. Much more checking and trapping than I've done. Far more sophisticated than just pound, pound, pound until they get sick of being pushed off pots and fight back -- just when you hit your big hand. Lots of ways to skin a cat, that's what this article shows. I did sometimes think the author was reading more into a situation than he had a basis for. But look at the result: while holding jacks, he got the guy to make a rash pf all-in .

Note also that the passive limping people are criticizing was essential to the success of this particular strategy. The limping kept luring the guy into small silly pots where he kept getting outplayed. Because they were small, they were low risk, but they did frustrate him into tilting.
