At times I feel that the style of some of the best 2 + 2'ers generally conflicts w/ a few sections of TFHAP.

One example off the cuff is the section in TFHAP that discusses playing high pp's when overs flop. Sklansky presents check and fold as a viable option, but possibly betting and then releasing too any strength. Good 2 + 2 posters would generally advocate a more aggressive line here, even in full games.

To me, that appears to be the basic difference. the best posters on this site seem to advocate a more aggressive overall style, especially w/ blind defense/stealing, etc., which THFAP doesnt discuss extensively.

Anyway, just curious if anyone else feels the same. Sometimes Im not quite sure whether to follow Sklansky's book or his site.

Anyone else have any specific examples thoughts about the differences (or similarities) between 2 + 2 and TFHAP?

This still strategy still applys to online in alot of situations. For instance if you raise with QQ and the flop comes out K 8 9. And a person(whom you have no read on) bets into you and you have 4 people behind you yet to act, than you can fold here everytime. But if youre folding this hand in shorthanded steal situations youre giving up a lot.
