Re: learning pot limit?

If you would actually read the book, you would find that Dr. Mahmood is an extremely tight player, much tighter that Reuben for example, who places much more emphasis on playing players he knows well than on just making pot driven decisions. The point he made regarding Q7s in the limit holdem chapter was that *if* you played it, it could only show a theoretical profit long term if you had at least 4 opponents and were in late position, and that you *played the flop well*. This is similar to advice in HPFAP regarding playing a K with a suited small card in certain situations, and assumes that you just don't blow money on top pair no kicker. This again just shows how much criticism of various parts of various books is based upon comments taken out of context, regardless of whether or not such a book does contain some errors or gives incomplete discussions of various points, and that such comments sometimes incorrectly quote the work as in this case regarding Q7 which was SOOTED in the relevant comment, and in which he also said that any Q with an offsuit small kicker had a "pathetic" performance if played.
