Playing against a Sklansky Disciple
I've been playing in a regular game for about a year now (tourney between 8 and 12 people usually). I consistantly finish in the top two, playing moderately tight while the first 5-6 players go out and then I loosen way up and play very agressive. It's a pretty average game, a couple guys are consistant winners, a couple guys who know a bit and hit the money everyonce in a while, and a couple fish giving their money away every week. Now the guy in question shows up about once a month or so, the first time I played against him I assumed he was just lucky. The second time I played him I got the distinct impression that Sklansky's Theory of Poker had crossed his nose. Last week he showed up again (probably the 4th or 5th time I've played him now), he got lucky and busted me on the bubble so now I'm looking for vengence (runner-runner straight after calling my all-in A-K vs. A-6 on the flop, board comes A85 9 7). As this is a 'freindly' game I poked around for some information as to what he's studied, sure enough Sklansky was his favorite.
So what I'm looking for is the best ways to play against players relying mainly on Sklansky's TOP. I own the book however it has been awhile since I've read it, so if you can think of any sections/pages in particular I should browse because they are important concepts this guy uses it would be helpful.
Thanks
