SKLANKSKY RELATION TO NL?
I've been reading a lot of Advanced Hold'em and a little of Small Stakes Holdem by Sklanksky and Malmuth lately but I just dont see how it applies to NL as much as it does to L.
Particularly on hand starting requirements, should I (generally of course) be playing the group hands to the dot as perscribed by the book? For instance I feel that playing 22 in any position (limping) has set value in the long run. Am I wrong? |

that book is about limit, which is probably why it applies to limit and not to no-limit

Re: SKLANKSKY RELATION TO NL?
So is me basing all of my pre-flop strategy on the Sklansky groupings not wise?
Where can I get some solid NL information on how to play pre-flop? |

Re: SKLANKSKY RELATION TO NL?
In my opinion I wouldn't follow the preflop chart in advanced hold'em for NL. First off if you're playing against experienced players that have read the books themselves they will have a huge edge if they know you're playing by book. Someone that flops 2 pair with K9 will stack you against your AK. I really think hand reading is the most critical skill you need in NL, not the hands you pick pre-flop.

As others have said SSHE is a limit book. It won't help you with your preflop play in NL. Don't follow any chart 100% when playing any type of poker. You need to be able to adjust your requirements on the fly. Starting hand charts are only meant to serve as a general guideline.
Unless something's changed over the last few months, Ed Miller's NL book will be out by the end of the year. (I just looked around a little. They are now shooting for February.) |

For 25NL this is good
EP/MP Seat:1-5 Raise: AA-QQ AK Limp: JJ-22 AQs-AJs KQs Call Raise: QQ-22 AK Re-Raise: AA-KK LP Seat:6-8 Open Raise: AA-TT AKs-ATs AK-AJ KQs KQ KJs QJs Limp: 99-22 A9s-A2s 'Any 2 suited broadways' ALL SC and 1 gap suited connectors down to 54s. Call raise: QQ-22 AK Axs 'Any 2 suited broadways' ALL SC and 1 gap suited connectors down to 54s. 5/10 rule applies ReRaise: AA-KK SB: Raise: AA-QQ AK complete: JJ-22 AQ-AJ Axs 'Any 2 suited broadways' ALL SC and 1 gap suited connectors down to 54s. Call raise: JJ-22 AK ReRaise: AA-KK BB: Raise: AA-QQ AK Call raise: JJ-22 AK ReRaise: AA-KK Charts suck, don't play so rigid. Just think tight early, and don't be calling alot of raises off the blinds. Your getting a discount price on the call but your OOP the entire hand which is bad. Only play back if its an open raise from the button and he is known to steal often. From LP play really loose. |
