What do you guys agree with im talking about at a casino where newbs are loose call stations playing a/7os likes it a fockin gold mine 
i tried hellmuths style last night at a casino i lost 60 bones had a/a capped preflop about 5/6 callers LOL a guy had q/q hit trips and then i had j/j capped and queen/2 suits come off..Had to get out flush hit..
now after about 30 minutes i have folded so many hands..i started going away from it.. his style only play a/a k/k q/q a/k j/j 10/10 aq 9/9 8/8 7/7 (THESE TOP 10 HANDS HE TELLS U TO ACTUALLY RAISE WITH THEM EVEN TO CAP) LOL
some suited connectors abovr 5/6 and k/q and a/x suited. HE TELLS NOTHIGN ABOUT A/J SUITED ETC in his book. I think its really a complete waste of money...
Then some other hands i have k/10 someone puts in a bet on a flop of k/rag/rag I RERAISE the right move to knock out call stations try to pair another rag to my dismay a newb stays in hits 2 pair on me.
Now after thinking this last night how many call stations there are at my local casino 5-6+ are seeing the flop at 2/4 limit!!! So clearly i know im going to go back with 40 tonight and go to the 1/2 limit. I haven't built my bankroll up yet to play with the big money dude haha 100 dollars at a table...
Now how should u play when its loose i seem to agree with ted sktyliski style of playing k/9 suited late position with 4 limipers NOT CALLING A COLD RAISE OF COURSE. Along with playing some other hands and raising with them a/j suited middle/late of course again not calling raises with them now if it was only one small bet to u after say you limped in you would call it...Playing suited connectors preflop of course not calling 3 stone cold bets..
Can someone please help im very lost at limit much better at no limit as of right now. I know tight is right!! but hellmuth hasn't been to my local casino in tampa and styliskis is specificalled designed for this..

1) read Small Stakes Holdem from 2+2 Publishing.
2) read this forum.
3) bring more than $40 for god's sake. your min buy in should be $80-$100, and you need another $100 in your pocket for bad streaks.
4) Hellmuth's book is CRAP.
5) see (1) and (2).

If you are only playing 8 starting hands in a low limit game, you must not like money.

If you're only bringing $40 to a 2/4 table then maybe this is a good idea....

by the time you get one of those 8 hands you mostly likely either ran out of money or don't have enough to bet past the flop!

That's also bad. In fact I'm not sure if anything good can come from bringing 10BB to the table.

The top ten hands thing is actually not a bad tournament strategy for beginners. The book is meant for beginners, not for players looking to take their game to the next level. I dont think this guy is ready for small stakes holdem, but go for it.
I think you should play bill braski's style of poker. Much better than "ted" syllanndskkyyy

I agree, but most noobs see it and eat it up. Think about it, who is more likely to pick the book up, a skilled holdem player or a beginner.
