Snoopy reviews Mastering No-Limit Hol'em written by Fox & Harker.

From the review:

This is a book based solely on cash games with most examples coming from fixed limit tables.

I think I know what snoopy means (that the examples come mostly from one level of the game, rather than having one hand from a game with $0.50/$1 blinds, then the next one from a $10/$20 game) but the phrase 'fixed limit' will only confuse people (who will, understandably, assume that fixed limit != no limit).

I was just about to make the same point - I thought Snoopy was referring to fixed limit games in the review, which would be a fairly significant issue for a book supposedly regarding No Limit strategy!
