From Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em, bottom of page 66, top of page 67:
Quote:
So we recommend you continuation bet frequently, and pull back on the aggression only against opponents who exploit your strategy. As a baseline, you could bet nearly every time in heads-up pots . . .
Thus one should cbet 100% only if their opponent doesn't notice and/or doesn't adjust their play. If the direction of exploitation reverses, then clearly one should reduce the frequency of their cbets.

Might come in a print edition down the road, but no guarantee.

It's light on playing a raiser IP too I think.

To be fair, haven't read it all tho.
How do you float someone OOP ?

For example you c/c on say A52r with air against someone who doesn't barrel often but cbets and shuts down a lot. Turn goes check check, then he folds to river bet.

You mean if he checks behind for pot control or if he decides to turn whatever he holds into to a bluff after you bet?

I am sure there are many permutations but if he is able to bluff after I bet he is not an ideal candidate to be "floated OOP" (with air). I'd say it applies to someone who in general will give up easily.

I've never done it because Fee says it's -EV...

You can also have it professionally bound. I posted two places that will make it a "real" book earlier in this thread.

I share your frustration. I don't think anyone has answered your question.
I checked the website on the book and found the following:
"The bulk of the book focuses on beating $1-$2 6-max online games."

My reaction is to forget about it . I am not spending any amount of money to try to translate 6 max into a full ring 1/2 live cash game. Maybe you and I can write the book.

A poker book is a poker book, while the 3 bet, 4 bet and shove game isn't as common in Full Ring nitsville, most of the concepts in the book are generally sound.

I have found that reading many poker books, even books on games I don't often play, significantly improves my game. I have not read Ed Miller, Sunny Metha, and Matt Flynn's book yet, but I suspect that most NL players will get a lot from any good book.

Unfortunately, since I have not read it, I don't yet know if I think it is good.

I wonder if players like me who play high stakes will learn a lot. But I intend to read it and have already purchased it.

Could this book be worth a read for a HU Cash player?

I'm a winning player at 1/2 live cash games, and I'm finding that my play is probably too nitty at 2/5 live cash. So I'm hoping this book will help me get out of what may be too exploitable of a straight-forward tight game.

I'm thinking that if this book helps change my game to be more like what would win at 1/2 6-max online, it's got to help me beat 2/5 live. It's got to make my game less predictable and harder to play against, which is what I need. At 1/2 live, you can almost just wait for monster hands and let them ship you their stack, but it doesn't happen often enough at 2/5.

To have it bound by Kinkos runs $110 for color and $38 for B/W. I hated giving the guy the file with password, but there really isn't any other way around it.
