Two things

1. Online SSNL is only semideep, so it is easy to get sucked in and stacked. Pot management on 100xBB tables (How to play typical hand both in and out of position)

[/ QUOTE ]

Also along this line:
A good discussion on hands to play PF against short stacks that have limped or mini'ed ahead of you. I've taken to playing less and less against shorties but I wonder if I have tightened up too much.
Lately, there seems to be at least one shortie at each table. Will that trend continue? Got to be at least a chapters worth of material in there.....

Sunny,

I would love to see the subject of SB vs BB play covered.

Other posters have asked for shorthanded play to be discussed. I am wondering if many of the sections can address, even if briefly, how that particular subject applies to shorter games.

The higher limits of ssnl and lower limits play very different. Addressing these differences and how to adjust when moving up would be of help to many.

I would also like to see playing agaisnt short stacks discussed.

Best of luck.

Definitely a (large) section devoted to making the adjustments from full ring to 6max.

1. Playing small unsuited aces, particularly when an Ace flops and the hand faces heat. I have so much trouble with these I just fold them now, and I see mid pair often enough to feel like I'm losing a ton of value. (nb "small" is Ax with x less than a Jack)

2. Blinds play, particularly completing the SB in the knowledge that you will be first to act post-flop, and when this is a good idea, if at all.

3. Mid high-suited and offsuit connectors, in particular KQ and QJ, and how their play varies from EP to LP. Another real problem for me.

I have NLTP on order so ignore me if any of these are already covered.

I really would like to see a chapter devoted to the basics of the math involved. For example, instead of a chart showing when I am up against 2 to 1 or 3 to 2 odds against an all in bet, show me how I can do these calculations myself, if i can create the same table by hand, the numbers will be better in grained in my thinking and easier to remember the memorizing them. Also, I cannot find any literature on the subject so a chapter would really help.

I'd really like to see an eloborate chapter on check-raising. I think this play is misapplied a lot.

I'd also appreciate a detailed discussion on balancing plays and playing marginal holdings such as pairs etc.

I'm a bloody beginner at NL, and I'd like to see these topics covered:

Contra-intuitive plays. For example: When do I need to raise with my marginal hand to increase my odds of winning the pot?

Calling all-ins. What does my hand need to make a call profitable?

Pot control. Very, very important. I wish I was a lot better in this department.

how to play marginal hands OOP

and I agree with ND that a chapter on C/R would be good, especially on the flop
