Sklansky ranks AJs higher than AQo?

[AA suited]

Sklansky Hold'em Hand Groupings:

Group 1: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs
Group2: TT, AQs, AJs, KQs, AK
Group3: 99, JTs, QJs, KJs, ATs, AQ

And AQo barely made group 3 since it's listed last in that group?

Can someone explain why he think KQs is better than AQo?

I've been mucking KQs from middle position, but limping with AQo. Have I been playing WRONG all this time?! /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Mucking KQs in MP for no raise? Some of you people are really terrible at poker, I'm sorry to say.

Aren't his hand rankings for limit games? I think he even says in the book I have that significant adjustments would have to be made to the rankings for pot limit and no limit. I've never seen a ranking for no-limit.

yes they are, and no they don't really apply like the OP was saying in No limit SNGs.

Do you use PT, if you do you should check how much these hands make you in level 1+2 from E+MP? I muck KQs and a lot of the time AQo as well, I also much AJs without a thought. You really could be playing too loose in level 1 and 2.

I know I can play these hands profitably and I know exactly what I'm giving up when I fold them but I do it anyways because it's not worth the small profit they yield.

i think this conversation has moved to another thread.

You play single table tournies that take more than 2 days!?

LOL, I'm guessing you didn't think about the section you were posting in.

LOL, I was actually responding to this.

OKay, I'm off here. I play live. I forget that almost everyone is referring to online SNGs nowadays. I also thought he was referencing "day 1 and day 2" - sorry large tourney habit

I muck most of the hands listed in the first 2 levels. Call me weak tight if you must, although most people call my a maniac in the late rounds.
