Default I will say this

Miller recommends the following in tight games, early position:

Suited cards that add to 21 or 20 (except A9)
Pairs AA-77
AK-AJ, KQ offsuit

That's 22 hands.

If you look at Taylor's hand rankings, his top 22 is almost exactly the same, except for including A9s in place of 77.

In addition, Taylor's hands ranked 23-33 are all included in Miller's "tight" middle position hands (which total 42, and also serve as his "loose" early and middle position hands).

3 more of Taylor's top 42 hands are also in Miller's top 42.

The 6 hands where Miller differs from Taylor in the top 42?

Miller
66-22
98s

Taylor
KTo
QJ-QTo
JTo
K8s
Q8s

Comparing Miller's Top 42 to S&M (groups 1-5), we have overlap except for these 7 hands

Miller
66-22
ATo
K9s

S&M
T8s
97s
87s
76s
65s
QJo
JTo

So, there you have it. All agree on about 35 of the top 42 hands.

At the margin in the top 42, Miller focuses on small pairs, S&M on suited connectors, and Taylor on offsuit broadway cards.

Is there any question that Miller and S&M are correct for the respective games they address?
