just finished reading Cloutier\'s book...
this is my first post to this forum. so hi! and please be gentle [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I have to admit I was somewhat disappointed when I was finished reading this book. it didn't hit me nearly as hard as any of slanksky/malmuth's books did. I especially didn't understand his "drawing hands are the devil" take. I understand the concept of not taking the risk with highly volatile plays in a freeze-out...but if the pot is laying you proper odds....
granted, I am playing in a home NLHE game and not in the WSOP. but do all tournament pros really play *that* tight? T.J. says "no" to small pairs, drawing hands, low connectors, "dangerous" hands, etc. unless he is in last position. he even trashes on odds and says that they are a "bunch of bull". I thought that implied odds made the world go round when it game to no-limit. am I a retard or am I missing something or both?
thanks in advance...
