Have the Sklansky/Malmuth hand groups been updated since the 1999 version of Holdem Poker for Advanced Players?

I read several newsgroup comments that claim there have been updates because of small inaccuracies found after further research. If I recall reversing KTs (group4) and JTs (group 3) was the most obvious one. THanks.

I'm not sure what 1999 is. The 21st Century Edition, no. There were changes between HEP and HEPFAP, but, I believe they were for different reasons such as structure (blinds).

The 'further research' you're confusing was not S&M it was this article:

http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/People/mummert/poker/

If you do some searches on "New Guide to the Starting Hands" you should find several long threads about this article. A couple point to an article by Mason about it.

Search has been fickle lately, you might not. Good Luck.
