I hate Ed Miller
 
I used to have such a nice profitable game, now I am a maniac raising station. I dont know how long it will take me to recover. I can see why RGP rips 2+2 for their arrogance.

What does this have to do with Ed Miller?

First of all, I dont really hate Ed.

But the assumptions his book is based on, are not true in my games. And I think he and his critism of WLLH are very arrogant. WLLH is probably a more realistic book for many games.


Actually, it is all just me, too many bad beats for huge pots, please excuse me.

What sites and limits are you playing?

UB and PS, lowest limits, so I am not losing much, but I won a lot over the last year, but the last five weeks I cant win. And the losses are bigger because I am more aggressive. Not really too much damage to my bank, just my ego.

I actually think I had that TJ Cloutier, Phil Hellmuth advice tweaked pretty well for my game.

It's likely you are applying the concepts in the book that are new to incorrectly. Post some hands in the micro or small stakes forum and we will deside.

Peace,

Hey Beavis,

As far as I'm concerned, the best strategy for nanolimits is to move up.

Ed's book owns WLLH and I think his criticism of Jones is dead-on. Lee is a smart guy and I read his book starting out, but SSHE is just plain better.

nope. not really.
maybe it's more realistic for some players' skill-levels.
but it is not more correct advice for ANY games.


if you think that you might not be applying the SSHE concepts correctly you should be posting a hand or two in the ML or SS forums.
if you think you ARE applying the SSHE concepts correctly, you should still be posting a hand or two in the ML or SS forums.

UB is so squeaky tight that HEFAP is probably your best bet, even at .25/.50. Tables regularly going under 30% see flop average. *shudder*

20 hands in a row without a showdown? Regular fare.

The strategy to beat tables where people play too few hands and lay them down too easy is quite different from SSH.

The best reason to hate Ed Miller is his over use of the word "absurd.
