Default Re: SSH and Getting The Best of It Discrepancy

GTBOI was first written over 20 years ago, and I'm guessin the games were quite different in many ways. Maybe more aggro, so if you call or raise with AJo you'd likely be having to put 3+ bets in, which isn't good with AJo. I don't have SSHe in front of me, but I think they had a specific example in there where if you raised with AJo, and it got reraised and capped back to you, you should fold, as opposed to 88 or 99, where you call. If this is more likely to happen in your game, then AJo is certaily "garbage" as Sklansky stated. I'm sure in most of today's lowlimit games though Mr. Sklansky would find a lot of places to profitably play AJo. Especially since he collaborated on SSHE, I believe he would agree with most of what Miller wrote, at least as it pertains to the typical 3/6 or 6/12 HE you'd find today.
