"Let's take the principle that a winning strategy in short-handed Hold 'em is to raise 18% of the time, to see about 30% of flops and to win 40%-plus of the flops that you see."

I would be very careful about basing a whole strategy on that assumption ! It might be true, what do I know about triple draw, but surely that can't automatically apply across all games.

PS Isn't 2-7 different because straights (and to a lesser extent flushes) kill your hand ?
