Small Stakes Holdem is online micro-limit book

[Petteri]

I play regularly Party 2/4 $ games online.

I think SSHE(Small stakes Holdem) handles only micro-stakes(up to 1/2 $) games online. Live these are games are usually found in 2/4 $, 3/6 $ and 4/8 $ limits.

Online 2/4 $ is kind of borderline. U.S daytime there are usually not many is any SSHE games around. U.S Evening time there are some. Friday and Saturday nights there are more. From 3/6 $ up online there is usually not many SSHE games available online.

I see Small Stakes Holdem giving wrong impression to many newcomers that SSHE is proper advice for online 2/4 $ or 3/6 $ games. SSHE is good advice only when game is very loose and passive. In 2/4 $ and 3/6 $ level that kind of games are not common anymore.

I think Holdem for Advanced Players and Middle Limit Holdem Poker are best books to learn poker 2/4 $ online and up.

Every experienced player knows that all poker books are just meant to give examples, no specific answers. Everything depends on game conditions.

Most newcomers do not understand nature of poker and think these books talk about the games they say they are.

I think SSHE should be characterized as online micro-limit(up to 1/2 $) book.

Holdem for Advanced Players's and Middle Limit Holdem Poker's main audience is online players on 2/4 $ level and up.
