Hey Matt just curious but why is this discussion posted in the smallest NL forum of all available ones? Is Volume 1 geared more towards the 25cent/50cent NL player and is Volume 2 the one geared toward the 2/5 5/10 player?

pure self interest. the dungeon strikes me as a happier and less unnecessarily combative place to hold the discussion. however, it can be wherever the mods want it.

first third of volume 1 (up to REM) is geared towards entry-level players. last two-thirds are for all limits, although consistently successful players in MSNL and HSNL and the pros in SSNL will know a lot of it.

plus limit lines are artificial. it all depends on who's sitting, and the concepts that will get you through are the same.

So you prefer going the SSNL raise of 4xbb+limpers instead of just pot pot pot ?


but since you are targeting the blinds more than anything in 6max, will going broke once in a while with an overpair vs. giving the blinds a better price (thus allowing them to stay tight) really be a good trade off.

Assumes vanilla 2+2 tags on your left, in other words people what you feel are worse then you, when playing with wide ranges .... so in this scenario, do we have a case, where you might want to only make 3xbb in order to force them to open

Does your book cover the above btw ??? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

hi gelford thanks for the praise in the other post!

i think i need a couple glasses of wine to understand your post here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

blind stealing definitely skews preflop raising strategy a bit. is that what you're getting at? and yeah you will have to get all in for 100bb some times if your opponents are any good. no free lunch anymore.

here's a thought for you: it's been argued that in early position you should raise less to allow opponents to call with a wider range of hands (since you are raising with a small range of mostly premium hands). however, that needs to be balanced with SPR concerns, which the discussion i believe has ignored.

Great idea for a study group, Matt. I should be getting my book at the beginning of next week so hopefully I'll have it finished and ready to go for the study group.

I got the same, and therefore ordered it at .com. It's even cheaper for me (the Netherlands). Prices for two copies, converted to euro's:
.com : 40E
.couk: 50E
.de : 56E

and one book:
.com : 21E
.couk: 28E
.de : 31E

I guess the country's minimal wage has more influence on the book price than the physical distance does [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Amazon.com now has a delivery estimate of 23 to 30 August, 2007.
