NL Holdem subjects Sklansky and Miller are avoiding

My original post is a direct quote from his book.

If that's the case you should note then when quoting it and you should give credit to the author, name the book, name the publisher, the date of publication, and page(s) that you quoted text from.

This is exactly what I did. The whole quote is from page 5 of NLHTP. And I put everything that I quoted inside of quotation marks. My comments follow the close quotation marks. Go check it out.

Here it is again, direct quote from page 5 of NLHTP by Sklansky/Miller:

"1. Reading hands and/or assigning probabilities to competing hands

2. Knowing when to 'change gears'

3. Using deception

4. Making others play badly (through mannerisms, conversation, or strategy)

5. Playing hands in ways that set up extra profits in the future

A 'talented' player who is good at these skills, but who has a shaky theoretical understanding of the game, can often easily beat a less talented player who has mastered the theory. Even if they sometimes make the wrong-sized bets or call with a draw when they shouldn't, talented players will still get the best of it through superior hand reading and other skills."

Exactly would be way to strong of a word to use there seeing as two of the five I requested are not present. Please check this out before posting any further direct quotations from a copyrighted book.
