Default starting hands

Where can I find the best guide (book or site) for starting hands for a loose low limit 0/8 game? I know there is nothing like SSHE, because I've searched for it, but I have Capelleti's book which I have found his recommendations to be loose and scattered in that collection of articles he calls a book. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]I also want to know what hands I should call from the SB and what hands I should throw away to a single raise.

I liked Tenner's book. ALso you can't go wrong with Ray Zee's book.

Tenner's book is best for someone new to the game. Once you feel comfortable playing and are doing well, read Zee. Read Cappelletti after that.

Also Google Steve Badger, and read the O8 material on his site.

I went there, but that site does not cover too much. He is very general about preflop play. I like his book reviews though. I am seriously considering getting Tener's book, because Capelleti has written a mess. I wish I spent my 30% coupon I had for Borders on something else. However, it was the only book on o8 there.

[/ QUOTE ]I know, but I was skimming through books and decided to buy it for the extra couple of bucks to get it right then and there instead of a week later. However, I mostly get my books from Overstock too. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, but that is a stupid system. I really don't like the idea of point count systems.
