The search isn't that great so I'd rather post my own stating what I exactly want to know rather than waste an hour of my time searching for it.

I agree that the search on this site isn't all that great. But if you think you need an hour to find a review of SSH using it then you are retarded to the point of being non-sentient.

All your rants against the above rant boil down to: "I am a spoiled brat and want to be spoon fed."

For your information it took me almost 20 seconds to find a review using the search engine. Which I'll admit is kinda slow, but atleast it beats your 1 hour estimate by a wee bit.

The short bus does take me to school every day. That's no reason to make fun of someone. We were all created equal. On a more serious point, an hour probably was an exageration but it would take a lot longer than this new post. Get over it. Noone made you look at it.

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.

It is anexcellent book full of infortation that you won't find anywhere else.

when you first get the book and until you really begin to understand it, your standard deviation will go through the roof.

Great book.

Between it and HOH they are my bibles.

I'm surprised how cheaply you can get SSHE on PokerStars. A lot of books are a lot more "expensive" in terms of points needed to get them.

What I'd say about it is - It's the best written poker book on the market, anyone with the beginnings of a winning game can totally transform their play using the ideas presented. For me he's taken a lot of complicated ideas and meshed them together in a way that makes everything easy to understand, and the writing style is perfect for the intended readership.

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?
