Re: What would you like to see covered in the upcoming SSNL book?

Let’s face it at the low limits we are mostly talking about online play. [/ QUOTE ] a couple people have mentioned this.....and certainly you cannot find live $.25/.50 NL games being spread at casinos (at least not to my knowledge)......however, the low-buyin $1/$2-ish NL games being spread all over the place are incredibly popular...... I remember when I lived in Vegas I one time went to the Riviera to see a comedy show....I swung by their "poker room", which was two tables of $1/$2 NL 200-max buy in - it looked like the best poker game I'd ever seen......there were more beer bottles on the table than chips, and I must've seen 3 preflop all-ins in the 5 or so hands I watched...... another time when my dad came to visit me, we played in the Wynn's uncapped 1/3 NL game - off the hook action.....the Bellagio game was already mentioned earlier in this thread.....Commerce spreads a ton of low-stakes NL games that feature crazy action.....the 1/2 NL game here at Harrah's New Orleans always looks totally bumpin'.....a month ago I went to St. Louis to watch the Mets play the Cardinals, and my buddy and I went to some riverboat casino.....the poker room had only 4/8 limit, so we convinced the guy to start a list for 1/2 NL - within half an hour we had a full table and a waiting list..... it's amazing, two years ago you could never find games like this being spread at casinos and now they're all the rage...... |

Quizzes at the end of each chapter would be good.
Also, situations suited for the stop 'n go. |

Re: What would you like to see covered in the upcoming SSNL book?
Lots of good suggestions here. I'd like a discussion the concept of my table image influence on the play of a hand.
How this impacts my ability to get a paid off or steal. Authors opinion of how often my opponents are actually paying attention and I can use this vs. just optimal play at SSNL. FE discussion in this light as well. Specific example same board/same hand when I'm LAG (or apparently LAG) vs TAG. Same hands situation when I hit and when I don't. Also, same hand vs. different opponent LAG/Tricky. I second the call for scenarios, specific examples for when to change gears. Come to think of it, just PM me above and leave it out of the book [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: What would you like to see covered in the upcoming SSNL book?
some things that no book has rly touched on
6 max play detailed discussion on check raising playing tptk/overpair hands oop v agression on drawwy boards is probably the thing i personally have the most trouble with, TOP suggest folding is the best option because the semi bluff is so powerful but this has to be giving up a lot of value. |

Re: What would you like to see covered in the upcoming SSNL book?
- treat short-hand and full-ring as equally important (instead of a 4 page appendix "adjustments in short-handed play")
- how to extract maximum value from your very strong hands (I am frequently disappointed with the amount of $ won and wondering how I could have gotten more out of it) - how to play overpairs (on all streets) in raised/re-raised pots if you have to consider that your opponent could have hit a set. In other words how to extract maximum value while not losing your stack when indeed villain has a set) |
