I'm guessing here but I'd bet I've been playing poker ten years longer than you've been alive. I've been professional since 1995. 40 books is nothing when you're serious.

FishOn: Uh, yeah, the 6-max players are baaaaaaad. That's why we play 6-max.

Default Serious 6 Max

Most players play too many hands and play them too passively.

It sounds self-serving, but this forum may be as good as it gets for short handed, short of Sklansky's interesting section on short handed. Post hands and get feedback on them. It has helped me a ton. Once you are square with working on your game, get pokertracker and find the fishies and start looking in that direction.

One book that helped me is Ciaffone's Middle Limit Hold'em. A lot of people here consider his advice weak-tight, but what was interesting was his thoughts on aggression.

King Yao is a regular poster here. I look forward to receiving his book and would keep an eye out for it.

I have an autographed copy. Bob has tutored me in poker for several years. I'm teaching him fishing.

"A lot of people here consider his advice weak-tight..."

The word would be conservative.

In SSH Miller, Sklansky, & Malmuth state repeated that the problem with most poor players is that they go to far with weak holdings. I am assuming that is in your 40 book collection.

Also, the chapter on bluffing is excellent and that is very relevant topic for shorthanded play.
