This is very interesting to hear, I dont see any SH volume on stars, so I would be curious to see what other sites you are playing 6max on.
I re-read my post and I really came off as overly critical I thought, I have to say again, this is a great book.
My opinion on the bet-sizing/limping has to do with low volume sites, basically there isnt much you can do for table selecting there, and your book talks about table selecting FIRST and FOREMOST and is probably why the following pages work for those games, if you are gunning for those loose passive tables like you should then the advice in the book is SOLID.
My criticism was basically out of context, basically only saying that in a typical 6max game that has more aggressive players, limping and bet sizing stuff will be pretty easy for them to exploit. But if you table select like the book recommends, follow this advice to the letter, his results over that sample are clear AND he was CRUSHING the rake (till a hit at .25/.50? maybe) and then goes on to crush the rake more, this is tough to do at the micro's where the rake is so high.
So I think were on the same page, its just that I dont have the ability to table select like you can at the bigger sites atm. But thinking back on the order of the book, Table Select THEN do the following.
Good stuff
