middle limit holdem

[PokerHorse]

Ciaffone actually played for a living for many years and played successfully in big/ pot limit games as well.
You might not fold in an internet 5-10 game when the board is t98 when you have at, but in a ring game this would be correct unless you already have a read on these players as being very loose aggressive. Especially if you were the pre-flop raiser.
if you look at hfap there are times when you fold top pair good kicker when simply bet into with players behind you.
This also might not be applicable to some internet games as well.
Ive never seen a post regarding a hand by mr malmuth that
showed me a much different outlook. usually they are player dependent. and dont be fooled, he plays well and he plays very tight for the most part.
there have been huge debates over calling a raise with aq from an early raiser. Again, poker is subject to probabilities but it is such a dynamic game that there just isnt black and white right or wrong in many many cases.
One point that mason wrote which is open for debate is the idea that middle limit games are somehow subject to players that are overly aggressive.
The higher you go the more aggression you will face. Whether it is " overly " aggressive is open to debate, but when players are pros they somehow can justify there over aggressive play with all kinds of rationale. you just need to take all this written information and find whats right for you from your own playing experience. if you are at the point where you feel that you can critique a poker book, then i wouldnt read too many more. it might just f you up. good luck
