I like this guide a lot. I play very similarly. And win at 10nl. I have to admit I'm a lifetime loser at 2nl by about half a bb/100, so I don't know how well it plays down there. Those tables play almost like free money, so maybe less cbetting. But very very good.

Jyms, agreed, it's not elaborate or advanced, but it's not intended to be. I think it's a good starting point for a lot of people.

And here's another thing that irks me. I think everyone's afraid to post guides like this 'cuz they're worried they will get ripped apart. Everyone's a critic. I applaud Wilbur for posting this.

Instead of single lines for hands like AK (like my most recent original post), a guide provides some picture of how someone's game fits together, which parts of his range are played differently or the same and so on. I would be thrilled if more FTR folks would post guide-like material and discuss broad categories of hands and situations.

Finally, most folks take guides WAY too seriously. They are good starting points, but not even Wilbur is suggesting this guide covers every situation or will turn someone into an expert. It will help you learn about position, cbetting, and selective aggression. It will avoid some of the most obvious noobie leaks. It will preserve a noobie's br long enough for that guy to figure some things out on his own, tweak the guide into something personal and usable for his game and style. It will help any noobie that THINKS about it rather than blindly playing it.
