King Yao's Weighing the Odds has a good Short Handed section.

Couple links u will probably get a lot out of.

This first one is from an older post in the HUSH forum...the links in this post are untitled, and while there are a lot of them...its pretty much a compilation of almost every important thread about shorthanded.


1st Link (actually someone titled some of the links if u scroll down that thread a little)

Jason Pohls shorthanded articles.

2nd Link

Defintily not the only answer and if it is, that section is a super basic primer and nothing more. You will need much more that that one section to become any good at shorthanded poker.

Also I would rate all of pohls articles (combined) to be a better primer than Weighing the Odds shorthanded section, just for sheer amount of detail that was put into them.

1.HUSH archives
2.Pohls articles
3.HPFAP
4.Yao;s section

is how the ratings should go.

I found the following to have helped me. your mileage may vary.

The shorthanded section in Hold Em Poker for Advanced Players.

King Yao's book.

I also played alot of 6 handed simulations on my Turbo Texas Holdem software by Wislon software.

And finally, just play alot of shorthanded and see what happens. Start out at the low limit .50/$1 tables just for fun. The experience you gain from actual gameplay will serve you as well and probably better than any book or software program out there anyway.

Each time this topic comes up (and it has been discussed a lot, search is your friend) I have to add How Good is your Limit Poker to the list. Its really a short hand book discussed as a full ring quiz book.
