So, if I understand you correctly... you might be more apt to limp in early position with small-ball type hands (like suited connectors) and only raise if you have late position, and when you raise, you raise enough to get the majority of players out? In this way, the pot might be larger pre-flop than in a traditional small-ball scenario, but you can continue to pay small ball after the flop. That seems pretty sound logic. My only concern would be that the amount you need to raise to get most hands out would be a non-insignificant percentage of your stack (if you are just starting out). Unless

I have been learning more about Daniel's small-ball strategies recently. I can see how this system could work very well, particularly in big-stack tournaments. However, I wonder if it is at all effective in cash games. Obviously tourney strategy differs from cash-game strategy, but I can't believe Daniel, and others who have cultivated the small-ball approach, vary their play immensely between the two. Or maybe I am being naive.Anyways, right off the bat I can see a few potential problems with playing small-ball in cash games, and I'm wondering if any small-ball proponents can comment on these
