Starting Hand Chart

[Ragone]

What book do you recommend by ease of use or simply just by best strategy for a starting hand chart. I realize this is an important concept, but may not be as important as post-flop play, but I was just wondering what most of you guys use?

(I tried using WLLH's requirements but was wondering if there's something else out there)

Abdul has a nice (free) pdf paper on preflop play. It is different from S&M on several points, but discusses each of them.

Not sure about the PDF, but this could be it.

The starting hands chart in "Internet Texas Hold'em" by Matthew Hilger is pretty good.

Are there any charts for nolimit out there?

I'm pretty sure if you need a chart you shouldn't be playing NL.

Yeah, plus that would be one friggin' huge chart considering the endless possibilities.

I'm surprised no one is rec. the starting hands charts in SSHE. I find it easier to use than the one in ITH, though I don't know if it is necessarily better. My swings seem to be larger but my wins ARE bigger if I am willing to play longer. I copied Ed's hands for a tight table into a word doc that I could print out. I don't seem to find the type of loose, (6-8 players seeing the flop), that he refers to. Maybe people are just wising up.
