Error in SSH
 

Mason and Ed,

Not trying to be nitpicking, but I think I found this tiny, tiny error in SSH.

Pages 285-286

You have A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], the board is T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

The book states that you have 7 outs to the nuts.
I'd say you have 6.

Do I get a t-shirt? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Error in SSH
 

lol, you're right.
Good job.
The 9 of spades gives the possibility of a straight flush being the nuts.

I'd say you can discount the nine to be 0.9999999 outs or so. So you only have 6.9999999 outs to the nuts.

Re: Error in SSH
 

Uh, wouldn't it only be 4?

Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I will supply the mailing address for my T-shirt upon request.

You're right. Missed the four and the deuce. Thought I was doing good [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: Error in SSH
 

well*

Re: Error in SSH
 

I guess Ed and Mason must have missed the straight flush possibility and I missed the full house/quads possibility.

Not only the [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9, but also [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 and [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 gives the possibility of a straight flush.

Thank you for finding this. We'll fix it for the next printing. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In the meantime, our A-high flushes are just gonna have to keep losing out to straight flushes. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Error in SSH
 

I like to call those hands, the "relative" nuts, and just assume a hi flush losing to 2card straigt flush is rare enough to not worry about it.

Re: Error in SSH
 

Another mistake, not really an error, just a typo. In my copy at least. On page 190 it says "Preflop Concepts Afterthough". Should be "Post flop Concepts Afterthough". Just something else to fix in the next printing.

Re: Error in SSH
 

I noticed that too about the pre/post flop typo.

Gotta be careful when pointing out others' typos that you don't make one yourself when you do. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: Error in SSH
 

I was really in a rush when I made that post. I noticed my mistake after it was too late to edit it. Ehh, so no one is perfect.

Re: Error in SSH
 

My guess would be that there was a serious head-slap ("How could I have missed that?! Argh!") somewhere at 2+2 after the book was printed. But the lesson for all of us -- and I most definately include myself -- might be "Don't be in a hurry to point out the mistakes of others." Eh?

I can't spell that word to save my freakin' soul. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I must misspell it a dozen times a week.

If nothing else, I've proved my point, even if at my own expense. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Somebody please shoot me!

Just look at the word finite. The phonetics make it much easier to spell.

As an act of total contrition, let me admit to having instructed myself in this very manner many times. I'm just too old or too stupid to actually learn it. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Maybe this bit of embarrassment will be the "final straw." (Or, maybe I should just quit using the word.)

This one is fixed in the Second Printing, which should be the one currently available.

Re: Error in SSH

i just recently order SSH at Amazon like a few weeks ago and my copy says First Edition, First Printing July 2004
