Re: Review of cover design
sorry, let me clarify. i did not open AA/KK every time for 6xBB over that sample size. I did so probably 25% to 35% of the time (I'm at work, no PT), just to see if it works. It didn't. Opening for 6xBB raise sticks out like a sore thumb online (even the fish wouldn't call). So, yeah, 72o suddenly has value [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Anyways, I understand what the book (at least the 2+2 article) is getting at and I appreciate the insight. I was just posting my limited experience for whatever it's worth. Again, looking forward to the book.

Re: Review of cover design
Not to hijack the thread, but . . .
I have a friend who makes it $140 to go in a 5-5 NL game with AA, KK and 32. And he announces that to the table. He's known for it. So, when you have QQ-TT or AK or even KK, you have a decision to make. Personally, I don't know if he raises 140 with all the combinations of 32 every time, but he has to include some 32 offsuit combos to make it look like he plays all 16 combos. When they call with AK or an overpair and he sucks out with 32, it really puts them on tilt.

Re: Review of cover design
so when they get aa or kk they call because most likely your friend has 32 right? then they fold everything else because your friend most likely has aa or kk. and i think your friend most suck out a lot with 32 against aa or kk right? your friend plays much like many idiots on poker stars.

Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread
OMG I ordered the book yesterday and can't wait to start reading it. I have special place cleared out for it next to my toilet (no offense intended...)
I've been stuck in TAG/ABC style for a while and have lately been experimenting with different approaches (creating images/LAG/etc.) and I think this book is coming at the perfect time for me. Can't wait to learn about SPR and committment (in regards to poker, not women...) -G

Reminds me why I usually avoid the strategy forums. If short stack players are such horrible donks, why do they hate them so much?

The strat forums are at their very best when people are critical and honest, but not nasty and judgmental. We're all here to learn!
