Very short section this week, which might be good b/c last week's discussion is still going strong.
Sklansky & Miller make it very clear that their outline of a pre-flop strategy is a starting point only and even suggest that experienced players skip it altogether. Keep that in mind before you tear it apart. A few questions...
1. With all of S&M's caveats and qualifications, it's obvious that they believe in a fluid pre-flop strategy. Do you have any specific examples in which table texture affected your pre-flop strategy?
2. Again, they heap scorn on always open-raising from late position. Have you experimented with open-limping from LP in the past week? What type of button/blinds might you target with LP limps rather than raises?
3. Pages 131-134 describe adjusting your pre-flop strategy depending on your stack size. Since most FTR'ers top off when they fall below 100BBs, I'm curious how this advice can be applied when other players are shortstacked. If a loose/passive shortstack open limps in front of you, are you less likely to raise implied odds hands like low and mid PPs and more likely to limp behind? How about if you have a loose/passive shortstack behind you, or in the blinds? Other common shortstack situations?
