hey does "two toned" mean 2 suits? and does the "zone" mean Ace thru Ten? did you make up these terms? thanks.

Some poker authors refer to the cards from 9 to A as "the playing zone" -- and I believe that's the reference SCG is making above.

I agree that people go to far with the raise and fold aspects of poker. There is a time and place for riasing, falling, and calling. But, I think in these instances when you have the position to knock out the rest of the field, a better long term play is...


check-raising the turn, to knock out players drawing on you. I think that is a much more profitable long term play. If you get three-bet, the rest is player dependent like most poker. But, I think it is more important to protect your hand in those spots, rather than going for cheap showdowns.
