SSH not for a beginner

[scott111]

I started playing limit hold'em on-line 2 months ago. The first books I read were Hold'em Poker by Skanlsky, then straight into SSH. I'm now suspecting that was a mistake, as many posters here indicate that it's a bit dangerous in the hands of beginners. I also read Theory of Poker.

I'm not doing bad, I usually only breaking even on the 50 cent tables at UB. I have a solid grasp of preflop, it's simple enough, but I get into trouble after that. Getting aggressive at the wrong time is the big one, raising the pot at the wrong time. I tend to lose much more than I win with AA or KK because I feel invincible. And losing big pots to the bigger flush is common.

I'm sure I only have part of the picture from SSH, if I had it all I would be winning!! My main question here is this: Should I continue to try to master the techniques in SSH, or should I take a step back try a different book first?
