Default Re: Sklansky confuses me.

There's not a lot on this out there, and it's a critical component of NL play. It's a very complex area, and I look forward to getting Sklansky's views. Most of the stuff out there now has you betting too big in a lot of cases in fact. And this is something the top pros do as well, although I'm seeing some players milking their hands more than I used to.

What we want to do here is to look at how to get the most out of the hand over time. Like in limit, we want people to call us generally when we have the advantage. Of course, we want them to pay for the privilege, and we can do that more here. We don't want to scare people out of pots too much though, when they perhaps would have called something smaller which would have given us a +EV for them to do so.

This also introduces the element of reading and knowing your opponents to a higher degree than fixed games. This is one of the reasons why NL is a more interesting game, IMO.
