Different Game Types
Hi,
I’m done reading Sklansky’s book, the one about holdem for advanced players. Sklansky said that small pairs or sets like action games while small and middle suited connectors on the flip side like more passive games. Is this true and why is this so?
Hope to hear from you in no time!
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Jake
Jake,
That book is intended for players that are far beyond the beginning stages of learning the game. Those that are playing middle and high stakes are those that his book is intended for.
Small pairs and sets are good for big action games as when you hit your set, you will be able to extract money. Suited connectors are speculative hands that need help to improve. If you play these hands in aggressive games, you will bleed off chips when you don’t hit your hand, which will be frequent.
