Re: Stack-To-Pot Ratios: Introduction
Cant wait for reading the whole thing. I hate that you have chosen this chapter for internet magazine as it ends with shaky conclusion which most high stakes players disagree with. Raising more preflop with some hands is a concept which will be very hard to justify as arguments against it are just too strong.

[/ QUOTE ] the article does not argue to raise more preflop with some hands. it shows that if your opponents are loose and indifferent to your raise size, with 100bb stacks and kings you benefit from raising more. that's all.

[/ QUOTE ] Raising more is only good if Villain will play similair range vs 3xBB raise and 6xBB raise and then play similarly on the flop. This is will not happen vs most bad players but I guess there are some huge donks who fit the description. Vs vast majority of bad players though you will lose too much action preflop to make "having easier decisions later in the hand" worthwhile.

It's not true of any of the live games I play in - from the games in Vegas to LA, Tunica, New Orleans, New York, etc. - to the good online games (Party before the leg., etc.). I see some 2p2ers so disproportionately favor Shania/balance/etc strategies to exploitative strategies (which are very often more +EV) that it makes me wonder if they're simply just playing in terrible games.

[/ QUOTE ] Do you guys present any EV calcs to support this in the book? Also, Matt talks about the "MOST profitable [SPR] for your hand should you hit the flop", but do you discuss the most profitable SPRs overall? And as an aside, Matt said in another thread you play online frequently- care to share your SN, or is it top secret like Moshman's? tia.

Re: Stack-To-Pot Ratios: Introduction
Hi curious123,
Yes, we discuss most profitable overall SPR's. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking with the EV of a bad player calling or not calling a particular preflop raise size, but there's plenty of equity discussion and calculation throughout the book. And as for my personal history, there's no "top secret", but this thread is not the place for that discussion. If you're interested about me you can check out the "About The Author" pages in the book, the "Bio" page on my website, or you can contact me privately. -S
