I think Ed Miller has it wrong...

[sublime]

saying that Ed got it wrong, while people here have been playign "the Ed Miller way" for months or years, and winning, is ridiculous.

Great post Josh

SSH has made me into a better player. PERIOD

What it has done is kind of glued together all the great things I have read and continue to read in the SS forum. For anybody to say that Ed's concepts are incorrect is absurd.

IMO there are two reasons that lead people to say that Ed's book has screwed up thier game:

#1 Lack of understanding of the swings that can occur during x amount of playing time

#2 Using the correct concepts at the wrong time (most importantly raising to protect you hand in small pots that you probably should fold and calling in those same pots)

The only thing that surprised me in Ed's book was his starting hand requirements for the CO and the button, other than that it is full of concepts that have been discussed here since I came around, that just never "clicked" with me (heck most still dont, im still pretty much a novice [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

SSH rocks!
