1. On p. 185, in the section on adjusting to loose games and players, S&M write:

Seek big preflop pots with big pocket pairs like pocket kings, but avoid them with big unpaired cards like ace-king.

Why should you avoid big pre-flop pots with AK? Is this advice specific to loose games?
With big PP's it usually ok to commit to the hand on the flop if the preflop plays developed a big flop (ie. with at least one RR). AK is so much more vulnerable in these spots by often commiting to TPTK. vs unknowns plyers with AK would be best to take a more conservative approach (at least when OOP). In loose games id prob be more apt to being v aggro PF with it to avoid multiway and also be more inclined to felt TP (but this depends on aggro or passive opp's)
2. Do you find the type of weak/tight player Ed Miller describes in your online games? How do you identify them?
i havent come across this guy so much yet, not since i left stars anyway
3. Have you ever intentionally bought in short to a cash game? What was your pre-flop strategy?
haha yes, live game while drunk $50 in 1/2 NL. doubled up in first hand felting TPGK then losing it 10 hands later
