Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
My copy just arrived after waiting for weeks for the mail (I am overseas). Between posting here and reading SSH I will most likely get fired from work. Oh well!

I agree it's a good book. But the praise for SSHE is out of control. What's lacking in this book is quite a bit: * how to play the turn * how to play in tight games (many tight players at low limits) * how to play in the blinds (against steal etc) * analysing flop texture (ITH is way better at this) * how to take notes about opponents (what to look for) * how to play against different player types (T/L, P/A) * not much about about bluffs, semibluffs * isolation preflop * getting raised on the turn * shorthanded play * psychology * ...and probably many more concepts missing I know there are other book from 2+2 that has all these concepts. But if you read what people say about SSHE you may think that it is the only book you will ever need. Well that just ain't true. Maybe we have SSHE 2 coming with the missing parts? That would be sweet! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] There is also nothing about Omaha or stud in this SSH. I'm returning my copy!

Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
lol. I don't think there's really anyone on this site that really thinks they only need one book anyway. Most 2 plus 2ers have multiple books and are actually directed to the web site by buying a book. I don't think I need another lesson on anything that guy said in his list so I'm fine with my purchase. I'm actually very glad the book doesn't go over this stuff as it would bore me to death.

Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
Well, Im a NL player switching to Limit, and Im wondering... where would I find information on limit bluffing.... see, to me, a bluff or semi is a pot bet on the turn, or a push, or somesuch... not so possible anymore.
And no, I can't search "limit bluff book section semi bluff" so please just answer it for me. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Small Stakes Hold Em By Ed Miller
I haven't gotten that far yet...but I'm pretty sure that all-out bluffing is a definite no. In small stakes you need the best hand to win at showdown and all bluffing will do is lose you money. Semi-bluffing is good if you have a pot equity advantage because you could either win it right there vs. few opponents or if you are on a strong draw and your hand comes in it make for good value betting.
