Even if some of us are not at the same level as the authors of the book that doesn't mean we can't discuss some of the topics in the book. Even if 99.9 percent of the plays are useless to most of us that visit this section of the forum. Yes i do pretty much copy and paste but i want to make it clear that someone else came up with these ideas. Would you rather i pretend that they were my ideas.

As far as confusing people goes honestly the concept of why he suggest c-raising with a small pair that misses the flop doesn't really confuse me at all. I doubt it confuses anybody else in this thread either. we may disagree about whether the play has any use at the micro stakes but i think we all understand it.
Umm that's cool, but I think you missed the emphasis on the word 'half'. Well either that or you just missed the point entirely and went on life tilt for the 60-90 seconds it took you to type your reply.

Either way, for the sake of clarity I'll elaborate on what I was saying. When you ask about "plays" like this in extremely general situations, it's like when someone completely new to poker asks questions about hands that are entirely too vague, except you're being even more general than that.
I actually thought i gave a fairly specific situation in my post about small pairs. I'll try again in a few but right now i am going to go eat.
