Default ITH is not more aggressive preflop than WLLH

[ QUOTE ]
MUCH more comprehensive! Many hand examples. Great preflop chart. More aggresive.

Examples in early position:

ITH has you limping with JJ. WLLH says raise (as does SSHE).

ITH says limp with 88 and 77 only after someone has already limped. Fold otherwise. WLLH says open limp with these pairs UTG (as does SSHE).

ITH says limp KQs. WLLH says raise.

ITH says fold KQo. WLLH says limp (as does SSHE).

ITH says limp KJs and QJs only after 1 limper. Otherwise fold. WLLH says you can limp these hands UTG (as does SSHE).

Thus, in early position, ITH is tighter and weaker than WLLH (and SSHE).

Now, I am not saying WLLH is a better book. Just disputing the claim that it is more aggressive, at least in its preflop recommendations.
