When I first read SSH I went out and quickly lost more money than I would care to admit. I thought Miller Sklansky and Malmuth were a bunch of con men who wrote some crappy book to take more money from me. However, A friend recommended Getting Started in Hold em by Ed Miller and I think it was the greatest book I have read on poker.

If you are having trouble successfully incorporating the concepts of SSH you would do well to read GSIH, playing a few weeks and then rereading SSH.
