I guess we are just going to disagree. I don't think it is ever correct to check QQ 7+ ways for example. I don't care if its a very unusual or rare spot, I don't think its ever correct and I think when new players come on here trying to get better at poker its going to do them quite a disservice.
I don't think its almost ever correct to not 3 bet JJ (unless UTG only opens like QQ+ or something). I think just calling 5 ways vs a bunch of bad players and weak ranges is clearly an inferior line (as does every other poster on here). Also, I'm probably right
I don't think its ever correct to check AJo preflop when the button open limps and the sb folds despite what examples you give. In fact, I even recall somebody asking Phillip Newall (who I assume you respect quite a lot, ((also good book)) if he can think of a situation where he would check AJo in that spot and he said no. So at least in that instance he's wrong or you are....
I'm curious which one you think it is?
I don't mean any disrespect or anything, we just disagree on several spots and ideas as we are both very stubborn people. Also I'm probably right.
