Re: who is Byron Jacobs/limit holdem em specialist
[ QUOTE ]
Edit: BTW, I'm interested in these DVDs because I want to improve my blind defense/steal play in full and shorthanded games. Any comment on that? [/ QUOTE ] Keep an eye out for Stoxtrader's video series from the same company, it may be better suited for blind play than Byron's HU series only because your opponent may think and react differently when playing full ring game that was folded to the blinds. At he same time HU play is a skill you must learn, and Byron is such a fantastic teacher. See the video trailer for an example. Side note to Byron - the audio is 100% better with your video. Ed sometimes sounded like he was in a fishbowl. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

[ QUOTE ] However, the new editor has rejected my second article, so I guess its not going to happen. [/ QUOTE ] Oh yeah? And why was your article rejected? I thought the new editor was explicitly looking for HU writers. [/ QUOTE ] This is being discussed in the Magazine Forum. I'm definitely still interested in publishing heads-up articles.

Article question
Byron, since you are right here, help me understand something in your recent Card Player article. You suggest in certain cases in shorthanded limit, it is not advisable to reraise with strong hands like AK, even against a player who plays junk. This way, they do not have proper odds to chase post flop.
My intuition claims that charging max price to play will have greater EV than limiting the size of the pot. If you have a better hand, you always want as much money in the pot as possible. Wouldn't AK have the same edge over your example of 86o whether the pot is big or small? I can understand that limiting the pot will make the 86o's error bigger in proportional terms, but not absolute. What am I missing?

I don't think this line of play (NOT raising with AK) is a clear choice. However, in a multi-way pot, AK offsuit OOP is not a great hand and there are post-flop playing advantages associated with not revealing the strength of your hand pre-flop. I don't think raising is wrong, but I also don't think that not raising is a mistake (apologies for the ugly negatives). Actually, the thrust of the example was what a frustrating game full ring limit is.

[/ QUOTE ] Ed Miller's DVD's talk about this also. He compares the advantages and disadvantages of raising preflop. He doesn't come out against raising preflop, He just explains that there is a trade off and wants you consider that in some circumstances a preflop raise maynt be the best play.I think that is what Byron is talking about.

[/ QUOTE ] In Ed's example, he is talking about raising a hand like ATo against relatively tight opponents so that you won't have as much of a preflop equity edge as you would against loose opponents and against tricky opponents, where what you give up after the flop is greater than it would be against passive opponents. AKo is way better than ATo. If multiple opponents have limped, they have garbage and AK has a big preflop equity advantage. Of course you give up something after the flop, but how often do you lose enough to make it a close decision? It's an old argument, but I thought it had long been settled in favor of raising....
