Re: Hilger Hand Example (9h3h)
My analysis in the book was brief and echoed most of the responses in this thread. Basically I say that you probably have the best hand and checking is risky since your opponents might take a free...

Re: the pause
Mushi, I've received a few comments about that article and I probably could have done a better job with the wording. The article's intention was speaking from a relative standpoint.

Re: Foreign Earned Income Credit
Very interesting discussion. I prefer not to elaborate too much as I am not a CPA. I do realize from this discussion that I probably ought to take the $80K exclusion out of my book as I am not...

Re: Only Breaking even on Party Poker
Midnight, just to clarify, the book states a "good" player, not an expert player. I defined a good player as one big bet an hour. Expert players would do much better in a shorter time period.

Re: JJ in Early Position
Of my charts, the JJ hand has been discussed a lot on this Forum and my own. If you read the text in the Advanced chapter, you'll see where I also say you can raise with hands 77 and higher in...

Re: *Official* Party Friday Special
That wasn't me.
I wrote a book on Limit, but I've probably had more success in NL tournaments than I have in Limit tournaments. That is definitely true in terms of live tournaments. For example,...

Re: Pocket 99s
just to chime in here. There are many situations in Hold'em where it is too simple to say Always raise or Always call.

Re: How does it look ?
Jeff, I get a lot of responses about my recommendation for beginning players to limp in early position with JJ. People say I am crazy and therefore my book isn't any good.

Re: Part 2
Ed, first of all I must commend you and your energy in writing another poker book so soon after Small Stakes. It took me a year after completing ITH before I could even think about writing another...

Re: Part 2
Ed, your points about post-flop play are quite valid. As far as pushing edges, this is not a main concern of mine regarding beginning players. I think my book advocates pretty aggressive play...

Re: A Point for Matthew Hilger.
Mebenhoe, I understand your point but I don't think it is as clear cut as you indicate. I believe it is much easier to debate advanced strategies than it is to debate how a beginning player should...

Re: Hand example #8 on pg.35
Brooktoon, even at $3-$6 the same reasons would apply here. Note that not only is the Qs probably no good, but any spade matching the kicker card of your opponent with a King. As noted by the...
