Default Books for medium stakes?

I need some book recommendations for 10/20 short hand. Are there any books out yet with a large amount of material on short handed play? I'm particularly interested in books that focus on reading the players, perhaps adressing psychology of agressive players. I've already read and re-read SSHE, HEPAP, TOP and Zen and the Art of Poker as well as well as internet articles by Lou Krieger, Hypermachi, Jason Pohl and Nick Eisel.

If there is no applicable literature to medium stakes 5/6 max, should my next step be to seek a coach?

You'd be better off reading HUSH everyday or hiring a coach. For best results, do both.

king yao's book has a pretty good short-handed section. Feeney's book has some good stuff about dealing with aggressive players.

I liked Middle Limit Poker, but I can't remember whether there was much at all there addressing short-handed games.

There is no authoritative literature available today for shorthanded limit hold'em. HUSH is the best resource IMO for shorthanded play - post hands, reply to other posts, and generally do your best to think about each situation analytically and you'll do fine.

Also, the search function is your friend. Check out old posts from the late '03 to early '05 era with posters like Schneids, Nate Tha' Great, Ulysses, Guido, et al.

Good luck.

I like this book, but it is written for a certain type of game and, in my opion, online 10/20 6-max is exactly the opposite sort of game in pretty much every way.
