Worst Advice Ever...
Play Poker Like The Pros
Hellmuth states in the Razz section that you must jam with good hands on third so that if fourth comes bad you will have the pot odds to chase. If you did not jam on third then when fourth came bad you would not have the pot odds to chase. |

Re: Worst Advice Ever...
[ QUOTE ]
always tell your spouse the truth [/ QUOTE ] Easily among the worst advice of all time. The one that comes to mind to give it a run for its money shocked me by being echoed by Ann Landers a few months before she gave up her column: You and your husband aren't getting along for a lot of reasons, and he also is adamant that he doesn't want any more children. So fix other problems in your relationship by making the choice to get "accidentally" pregant yourself. Don't worry, he'll love it! Yeah, men really like that. Having a baby in an unstable relationship, and dealing with a problem relationship by sabotaging trust on a critical, deeply personal issue that will affect you and that you'll be reminded of for the rest of your lives. Good move on all counts. Great advice, Ann! Can you believe I actually read Ann Landers? Tom Lycas or however you spell it, the radio jock, got incensed reading the column the same day I did and did hours on it. |

Ken Warren on limit hand selection (paraphrased):
Play any two cards which add up to 20 or 21 (i.e. J10, A9,etc.) from any position, at any type of table (passive, loose, etc.). [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] |

Re: Worst Advice Ever...
That seems analogous to slipping an extra bet or two as an ante into the pot just for fun. I haven't read his book, and won't buy it now that it's widely panned. I just don't trust anyone who is an expert in his field, yet refuses to read contemporary literature by acknowledged authorities because he's afraid it will dumb him down. I had considered the possibility that he was telling lies and getting paid, but apparently not. I'm no shrink, but his behavior smacks of maniacal conceit. Gifted player, but a weird dude. And they say he is real friend and a kind guy away from the table. Interesting.

All you need to do ask the pros what they think about his ring game skills. At UB when he plays limit games is like honey attracting flies. His book is worthless. Read Masons' review.

Re: Worst Advice Ever...
Mason gave everything but the limit section a 6, hardly worthless.
Why do you think jamming with a great starting hand is bad? Maybe his reason isnt correct but why not jam with the best hand? |

Re: Worst Advice Ever...
jamming with any pair preflop from any position is not jamming with the best hand.
