Default Re: The Changing Face of Hold \'em

Has anyone read the new Small Stakes book by Ed and possibly applied this to the higher limits? I have not read the new book, so I was curious. It would make sense that with the amount of unguided big stakes players, they may play with low limit ability and Ed's book may be more apllicable to this 'online crazy play'???

I don't play those limits, but have read the book. Ed's book really applies to ANY game where players play like a small stakes game. This is characterized not only by loose pre-flop play, but by players taking their hands too far. From what I understand about the higher limits is that there are people that play loosly pre-flop, but VERY good post-flop. (In fact I think in HEFAP, Sklansky talks about these types of player where their only mistake appears to be too loose preflop). Ed's book absolutely PUNISHES opponents for taking their hands too far, so yes, I'm sure it would work at any limit where you have these types of opponents.
