Small Stakes Holdem by Sklansky, Miller, and Malmuth

Hi everyone this is my first post. My question is how many of you have specifically used SSHE concepts either in B&M cardrooms or online play. Also what specific concepts and how much has that book helped you. THanks [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I'm going to take a random guess here and say "everyone."

PS: Miller and Malmuth too

Edit: except Pax, he swears by Jones and McEnvoy

[Rev. Good Will]

SSHE = the bible around here

PS - edit your post quickly and give Miller plenty of props, he was an avid ML poster way back when

I'm actually the ghostwriter of Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold'Em. My royalties are held up in litigation. Remember kiddies, play any pocket pair, any suited ace, and any two cards ten or higher!

SSHE is the book. There are no others. Majorkong > us.

If you are a programmer, SSH is to poker what Kernighan and Ritchie is to C.

If you are gun nut it's like the shooters bible.

If you call people it's like the yellow pages.

Get it, read it, play some. Read it again, play some more. Read it again and play some more.

The concepts in it play very well in limits up to at least 1/2 online.

I'd say read another beginners book first or play a little because you won't understand a lot of things from the book when you first read it. Definetly a great book, but not a starting one. Getting Started in Hold 'em is a beginners book. Haven't read it, but people say it's good and you can definetly trust 2+2 publishings for poker.

hm i actually just ordered this book today [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Im hoping it be the link i need between "winning low limit hold em" and "hold em for advance players"

[hemstock]

Winning low limit hold'em was a waste of money at least for me. It just tells you how to find excuses to fold all the time. It teaches you how not not lose but not how to go after the $$$$

Did you guys ever hear that story about that unfortunate casino explosion that left Lee Jones, Dan Harrington, and Ed Miller standing before God at the throne of heaven? God approached all three of them individually:

First, He approached Jones. He asked what he believed in, and why these beliefs should earn his admission to Heaven. Jones replied, "Lord, I believe in caution and prudence. I have not relied on Your grace for good fortune, and have trusted only solid chances to make my living. For this, I deserve to be in heaven."

God was touched, and reached out to Jones. "You are correct my son; for your stellar example, you deserve a seat in the Heavens. You have been blessed with the honor of sitting here to My left."

Then, He turned to Harrington, and asked the same question. Harrington replied, "Lord, I believe in teamwork. I have blessed my peers and brothers with collaboration as authors, to allow teamwork to spread by example of our books. For my kindness to my fellow man, I believe I belong in Heaven."

Again, God decided that this was true. "You speak the truth, Daniel. Please, take this seat to My right."

Finally, God turned his attention to Ed. "And you, Ed? What is it that you believe?"

"Excuse me, Lord, but I believe that You're in my seat."

So yeah, the book is that good.

I know Ed occasionally reads the ML forum. If you see this Ed, I mean no offence and I hope it's not out of line - the other Canadians around here originally heard this as a joke about Wayne Greztky, and I see some of the same zeal for Gretz's playing around here for your book. I'm not trying to accuse you of conceit; being compared to the great one by a Canadian is about as high of an honor as one can get [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
