A few comments.

- Folding is bad here

- Kudos to Rolf for his appearance. I frequently disagree with his advice....but he is very professional and polite in his posts here in spite of the criticisms he takes. Mucho respect for the man. His column in card-player is one of the few that I still enjoy reading.

- Shykovsky's ideas are bizarrely weak-tight and bad. I posted one of his articles in the SS-forum a couple months ago. In it, he folded his AA in a big pot on the turn because he was sure he read his opponent as having quad-9's. It was ridiculous.
I've read a couple more of Shykovsky's columns and thought they were bad too.
He is the master of folding reasonably strong hands to minimal resistence in huge pots to save 1 mesely bet.


- From what I have read of some posters who have played in Europe (either from the U.S. and travelling there....OR native Europeans) the games there can be REALLY wild.
I've never played in Europe so I don't know..but I thought I had read reports of really crazy/wild games in vienna, sweden, elsewhere.
