Default Hold\'em for Advanced Players, SH section, good for starters?

I just started reading Sklansky's 21st edition of Hold'em for Advanced Players and wondered what you SH players thought of his SH chapter? Seems QUITE a bit different from what I've read on many forums but seems to make a lot of sense. I was considering trying out SH at Poker Room while I worked off a promotional deal. But this would be my first foray in to SH play and wonder if maybe this isn't a bit to advanced for a newbie. Or is it a fine starting point?

It seems like it applies a lot to HU and 3-handed. At least it did the last time I read it.

Try this .

Is this chart considered loose or tight?
Seems to me it's a bit loose at some occasions.

Open with A9 and QTs in MP?
Re-raise with A9s on the button?

Or am I just too used to ring?
Of course the re-raising is player dependent.

Those are all standard plays. I make those raises and re-raises 110% of the time.

If you meet a guy that is a very tight raiser do you re-raise with A9s from UTG?

That can't be EV+.
Maybe if he's a very weak player.
