i've actually got a question about the chart:
in late pos. hands, he has A6 as one?
why A6?
he skips A9, A8 and A7
is he implying AX suited?

Hi - Yes, I think he means AX suited. Not just Ace/rag.

A4 is unique, and playable, where does this chart say A6 is playable from?

it shows it as the third best late position hand

i think michele's right; he means A-X suited, suited being the condition to play it

I disagree with this Ax suited completely, with all due respect. A-6 is a long term loser from all positions. May I enquire what chart this is?

Check out David Sklansky's book on low limit holdem ("Small Stakes Hold 'em" or something like that), I think it comes with the same type of chart you're looking at. And I doubt he'll sanction playing A-6 suited.... maybe limp from the SB into a big pot, but that's about the only time I can see playing it, and even then it is questionable.

No disrespect to Tom McEvoy, but he's no expert when it comes to technical limit strategy - I think you'll be much better off reading Sklansky's book.

Hi All,
My first reply so be kind... another sklansky's book is called 'advanced tournament theory' which refers to the GAP concept...i find this pretty useful in mid to late tournies. Anyone else familiar with this concept?
Regards John

SSHE, by Sklansky and Malmuth is the authoritative work on limit Holdem for low stakes. Play ABC poker, strictly by this books guidelines, and you will be a winning player.

There is no way Tom McEvoy considers A-6 suited the third best late position hand. For the record let's agree on the three best starting hands from late postion.
1.) AA
2.) KK
3.)QQ or AK suited
Heck AQ is considered a trap hand, and it is a one gap

A-6 can't even make a straight. You can only draw to the flush.
if a 6 hits... your probably dead.
if an A hits your probably out kicked... and dead.
