Default Re: what to memorize?

If you are merely memorizing the WLLH hands because it is shorter but you think the SSHE are better (which I do).

The SSHE hands list is intended specifically for more intermediate players, or at least for exceptionally talented beginners. Even Ed Miller simplified these starting hand recommendations substantially in GSiH. I can't vouch for WLLH 3rd edition, but based on the 2nd edition I would guess that it's probably more appropriate for beginners than the SSHE list.

That said, I wouldn't consider it a crisis if the OP were studying the SSHE list; it just might take a while for those marginal hands to become profitable as he improves in postflop play.
