" Now I'm not saying that we need to "throw out the guide book", but what I am saying is don't always listen to what the guide book says with 100% conviction. Like my examples above, many different styles and ways of playing will win, work and make money." Andrew

i agree with you 100%.... If you do you will get burned. Poker is an ever-changing thing..there is never going to be something set and stone. Except for POT ODDS, IMPLIED ODDS, POSITION, STARTING HAND REQUIREMENTS (this one is debatable), and your READS. Thats why everyone drills these...there never change over time..3 to 1 pot odds is always going to be 3 to 1 pot odds....I hope this makes sense...
