Default Miller et al.\'s Small Stakes Holdem

I'm just going by memory here, but IIRC it's saying to take the hands the button would limp with and remove those hands. It really has nothing to do with the hands the button would call a raise with -- just the simple list of hands the button would limp with.

The reason for this counterintuitive alchemy is, the button has to call one bet with position to limp, and the BB has to call one bet to call a raise. The bad position is somewhat offset by the better pot odds -- you only have to call one bet for a pot of two bets * the number of players, plus one bet for your blind.

Someone correct me if I'm remembering wrong.

And welcome to the forum. There's a books/publications forum too for future questions about the book.
