Thank you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

how many months we should use the concept in GSIH and play low limit holdem before we move on to SSH?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a very personal decision, but I expect most people will be ready to start reading SSH after perhaps two or three months.

[ QUOTE ]
i also notice you dont talk much about Implied odds. do you want beginners not to use it much when playing. just concentrate more on pot odds and outs odds for now until we read SSH?

[/ QUOTE ]

I left out several "more advanced" concepts and glossed over some others. GSIH is not intended to be in any way comprehensive. It's intended to give new players a feel for the game, keep them out of too much trouble, and give them the foundation to read SSH.

i also see some concept that in ssh not in GSIH like slowplaying, check raise, free card. is it best not to worry about them until we read SSH. just follow what GSIH has for now and get use of the fundamentals first when playing?

[/ QUOTE ]

Again, GSIH is intended to be an approachable, yet challenging, introduction to hold 'em. Some ideas aren't introduced until SSH.

[ QUOTE ]
also is the limit pre flop chart on GSIH the same as SSH tight chart?

[/ QUOTE ]

There are some differences. The GSIH chart is a bit tighter.

[ QUOTE ]
do you recommend when going from GSIH to SSh, is to use the Tight chart first in SSH?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's fine. Everyone is different, and I wouldn't make a blanket recommendation like that, but if you feel more comfortable doing that, there's nothing really wrong with it.
