Default Re: Raising from the blinds--why do the experts disagree?

They aren't really disagreeing. They are talking about different games that they are used to. Consider the sources. Dan N. probably hasn't played in a LL, no foldem type game in quite some time.

SSHE applies to many games, but not all. Even then, there is quite a crossover, but there are finer points to adjust to texture depending.

Once you know how to gauge the table texture, then you can adjust accordingly. That also means that the texture of a hand could change depending on who is in the pot with you before the flop.

If all the tight rocks or TAGs are in, you have to be a little more careful than if the any 2 will do's are in. Some hands play differently against both these types.

Hope that helps.
