Re(1): Another great Rizen article In reply to By EPTPLAYER on 02-27-2007 5:07 AM Can't read enough of Mr Lynch's work. His one of the most ensightful poker writers of his generation. Keep up the good work Sir.

Re(2): Another great Rizen article In reply to By shipitdotcom on 02-27-2007 5:20 AM the induce squeezeage is a great play for the high buy in folks, rarely see it used.

Re(3): Another great Rizen article In reply to By ab1212 on 02-27-2007 5:37 AM Great article once again by Rizen. I've been struggling so far in 2007 and maybe a change of approach is something I need to do. I do feel pretty good about one thing...I have been doing the "induced squeeze" for a couple of months now. when I'm 2,3, or 4th to act and there is an early raise I've been smooth calling w/ AA. Of the last 4 times I've done it I have gotten re-raised 3X (doubled twice & tripled up once). The other time saw a 3 way flop and won a smallish pot. Keep th einfo coming Rizen, ab1212

Re(1): Another great Rizen article In reply to By Suthereader on 02-27-2007 5:43 AM   I see a lot of inherent risk in the squeeze play...there are a lot of people playing who just want to get involved in big pots ...does the squeeze play get run over a lot? Or is it more practical at certain levels...   Liked the Rizen article a lot...Gavin Smith in Bluff made a similar observation that so many people are playing book poker that he tries to take advantage of it...But Rizen actually gives some examples whereas Smith didn't...    Actually when a great book like Harrington's comes out it probably adds more layers to the game...You'll have people who don't know him...people who emulate Harrington too much then you have people trying to peg and beat the Harringtonites...

Re(1): Another great Rizen article In reply to By busto_soon on 02-27-2007 7:26 AM Random thoughts. About the induced squeeze: Key sentence here imo: ''You must pay careful attention to the location of the initial raiser as well as stack sizes to make sure you’re setting it up properly''. So make sure there seems to be reshove equity. About pushing ranges: Equity vs. a 66+, AJ+, KQ calling range: 72o 23.5% A2o 31.8% A2s 35.5%  A9o 34.2% A9s 37.7% 54s 31.8% 87s 33.7% JTs 37.1% K9s 34.8% K5o 28.3%

Re(1): Another great Rizen article In reply to By C4LL4W4Y on 02-27-2007 8:04 AM Great article, i only have one (albeit minor) issue with it.  Rizen writes, " Today’s internet player is very hip to this now though, and their calling ranges against red zone players is often much wider than it was a few years ago," and later says, "I prefer the medium/big suited connectors to pushing with hands like A5, K7, or 22 because the typical calling range of today’s opponent includes mostly hands that dominate those types of holdings. Hands like JTs or 78s hold up very well when people are willing to call your short stack pushes with hands like ATo, 66, and KQ." I think the point is generally accurate, but I really think it really applies to the upper echelon of short stack play - that is, an M around 4 or 5.  Because people have been opening up their calling ranges, you are more likely to get called by hands like K9s and A3o when you're pushing with an M of less than 4.  When it's late and I'm sitting on 6 or 7 BB's, this makes my Arag hands look a lot better than they did pre-Harrington.

Re(1): Another great Rizen article In reply to By davester on 02-27-2007 9:09 AM This article is great.  I posted a while back how unimaginative and derivative the articles had become, but this article breaks new ground and doesn't rehash the old stuff.  Leave it to a pro to do the dirty work!!!
