However, if you go back and look at his 2 volumes Harrington on Cash Games, there is a decent amount of discussion on calling preflop raises in the sections Tight Aggressive Preflop Play and Beating Weak Games that would be appropriate.
as this thread is about the new 6max-book, i obviously spoke about this book and not about the hoc-series. and as you agreed in your post, in this book harrington only speaks about calling pfr in the small stakes chapter, and more or less ignores it untill page 383 of 500. so one can easily get the impression, that he advocates not to call pfr in microstakes 6max-games. and as a consequence i asked myself the following 2 questions:
a.) was this his intention? does he really recommend 3bet/fold against pfr in microstakes 6max-games and if yes: why?
b.) what does the 2+2-community think about this 3bet/fold-approach for microstakes 6max-games?
btw.: harrington's 6max-book is not volume 3 of the hoc-series (which were good books, but about a totaly different game, namely "deep stacked fullring live-games" and so it is imho questionable if the advice there can also be used in 6max-online-games). so you can't assume, that everybody who reads this book has read hoc 1+2
greetings from vienna!
ps.: i am looking forward to taking part in the study-group! @MyTurn2Raise: hope you will take part too!
pps.: hope nobody gets me wrong: i really like the book, but i'd love it even more, if harrington had elaborated a little bit more about calling pfr.
