Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
As I said the book is a good one.
But if you read the boards here it seems like this book is all you need. And thats just not true. I just wanted to tell it like it is. It's a good book that lacks alot of info on how to play limit. |

I'll be kind and reiterate what (almost) every other review screams: Buy the book already! If you ever play limit hold'em against loose and timid opponents it will pay for itself in a session. [/ QUOTE ] Literally. I bought and read this book and went from a habitually red balance player to an overwhelmingly green balance player. My bankroll is up 200% in 3 weeks (yeah, variance I know) after finishing this book. I am rereading it now to pick up some more points about my post flop play. Heck, just the starting hand chart is enough to make the book worth reading. And thats just 4 pages. |

Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
Has anyone that has read SSHE also read HE For Advanced Players? I have my FPP's on pokerstars to spend and I'm considering one of these two books. Is there really a great difference between the topics talked about in the two?

Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
I assume that much of SSH is applicable to the party .5/1 games? This book is simply about limit poker, correct??

Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
Small Stakes Holdem is book about loose games. If you play in games there usually 4-7 players see flop and great deal of hands go to showdown Small Stakes Holdem is the book.
For tighter games were players can release their hands and usually 2-4 players see flop there is 2 other books. Holdem Poker for Advanced Players and Middle Limit Holdem Poker cover tighter games. In online poker HPFAP and MLHP are best books for 2/4 $ and up. My personal opinion is that Middle Limit Holdem Poker is the best limit book available. |

Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
You should definitely buy HE For Advanced Players as well as SSHE.
It teaches you how to play against the better players at low limits. |

Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
People should stop saying SSHE is a book about loose games. It's not. It's a book about thinking properly about poker applied to loose games. Point is, SSHE applies to tight games at higher levels, too. Before SSHE, I was winning slightly at 1/2. After SSHE, I've yet to see a level to which it doesn't apply. I asked Ed Miller and he said that even up to 100/200, it applies. The EV calculations, hand range estimations, etc. are concepts that apply to every game at every level.
I believe it's more accurate to say that HEPFAP applies to tighter games with thinking opponents than it is accurate to say that SSHE is for loose games. That's why SSHE is a superior book overall. What I really wish is if someone would write a SSHE book specifically for 6 max 10/20 and above. That would be sick. M |
