I did this recently with QQ (shortstacked!!) and itÂ’s inexcusably horrible.

I really like the book overall (and some of the idiocy itt and in GG’s 6K is extraordinary to me, even after being here from Day One in ‘98) but the only tourneys it would be useful for are bar freerolls.

And it was for me; folded AKo utg (correctly), shoved with AKs utg, got six callers, board 2247K and I was ahead the whole way, etc.

20 entries, only three others had any idea how to play and we finished 1234. At one point a girl had over half the chips, got mad at her bf and left. Her chips were removed which helped me greatly.

So to maximally exploit people with very specific and unusual stats, you need to think WAY outside the box:

Imagine that in front of you, you have a player with something like LP (limp punishing) percentage 90% but only 3B% (Three bet percentage) of 10%. (or several players with LP>50%, 3B<20%) I've played a bunch of 1-2 games out in Oklahoma full of players like this: They will make it $20 every single time as long as no one raises in front of them. Ok well, if you raise your KK, you'll see a 6 way pot with a bunch of people who will try (and have the correct implied odds) to flop two pair+ and stack you. If you limp instead, then it will go: $20, call call call something like 90% of the time. Well now you get to blast $200 into a $100 pot which is just printing money whether they call or not.

In fact, you can play a fairly wide range this way and just flip coins with $100 dead in the middle. People at the table will look at you like you are from Mars, but I am telling you, this strategy f***s.

I'm looking forward to getting the book when it comes out!

The book is available. You can find it here:

did Bart Hanson ever circle back to this book to give his full review?

Not to my knowledge. But now that people know what the book says, many of his comments look silly.

I will say A LOT of people did say a lot of positive things

also happy you guys did spend some time on preflop which a lot of books in the 2p2 hemisphere skip over frequently

I will be glad to read it sometime in the future to see what the talk is about.


again the bigggest reason why people were questioning it was because of the "loose passive" type play preflop that the book was settin git up for (most of this site says the opposite of those stakes, to play the opposite) but as we know, you guys had your theories and reasons as to why

Mason, from a thread in the Live Cash forum, do you (or anyone else) think the Suited Connectors section in SuperSystem has relevance to today’s 2-5 games?

I would have to go back and read it since I don't remember what it says. If you have a specific question I'll try to answer.
