*looks like limit holdem strats here*
I'm not a fan of re-posting material, but I will definatly link to it.
As with anything I like some of it, and don't like some of it. It's up to you to decide what you like about it. I don't see anything there that I would consider "wrong" to the point of costing someone alot of money if they played it that way.
Why? Can I assume it's because, with four people calling, they've all got a combination of face cards that should minimise the risk of a helpful face card coming out for them?Quote:
Do not play small pairs (under 8’s) unless there are at least 4 people already in the pot.

Looks like a limit strategy... In Limit you don't have the Implied odds you to for NL..Quote:

If a low limit game the average winning hand is usually two pairs so be careful if your hand is weaker than this
I would say 1 pair is the number #1 winner of hands, and i'm pretty sure it could be proven mathmatically. Details! :)
Not bad. Nothing that I think is glaringly inaccurate. Not all of it do I agree with but nothing that couldn't have a good argument made for itself either way.
I have read that you want your small pockets to be EITHER heads up or >=4 way, not 3 way - although in the SB you are still getting 5:1 in limit.
Heads up, a pocket pair is is at worst a coinflip vs. anything but a higher PP, and multiway you have pot+impleid odds if you hit your set.
I am talking limit here, though
