Hello everyone,
I've been reading "Harrington on Cash Games" lately.
I find it very interesting that Harrington teaches to play poker differently (pre-flop), as I'm used to.
Basically I try to play as pokerstrategy teaches me.
(Open-raise when first in @NL6max)
Here is an example from this book:
[..]Here you might decide to raise 70 percent of the time with ace-king (limping the other 30)
and just 50 percent of the time with ace-queen (limping the other 50 percent)[..]
And so on (also other hands): Limp - %, raise - %.
I think that post-flop play is explained good, just that open-limping % and open-raising % confuses me.
I know, he is mixing up his game differently, but I'm used to open-raise 100% .
So, my main questions to coaches, players, poker-strategists are:
1) Does this still work? (I think it really sucks for me as a NL 6max player; limping = dead money.
Also coaches on videos open-raises most of the time.)
2) Is someone from you playing exactly Harrington's way? Does it work?
3) Do you suggest to play Harrington's way or poker-strategy's way? Why exactly?
