[Zeno]

Thanks for pointing this out and for the clarification. Miller's tables are presented in a somewhat convoluted form and old men like myself get confused easily.

I have my doubts that a Q, 3 suited can be played for long-term profit from the BB for a raise. Now that will depend, of course, on a multitude of factors (something you commented on etc.), not the least being where the raise originates and the number of fools in the hand and so forth. So judgment is called for and if your judgment is exercised in a wise manner and your post flop play is above par, then Mr. Miller is correct (and I’m sure he makes those stipulations somewhere in his <font color="red"> Big Red Book </font>). So the old conundrum of sound judgment looms and vibrates like a mirage on the poker-playing horizon. A not unusual situation.

By the way, as a comment to all, I enjoyed Edward’s article. He is a wise man and writes well.
