how to use this litterature
 

Got "weighing the odds in hold'em poker" and "hold'em on the come" in the mail today. I haven't read a poker book in a while, could you give some advice how to use this books? Is there any good material not covered in WITHEG, HEPFAP or SSHE? Is there any material that you think I should disregard?

Can I skip the standard "potodds", "expected value", "counting outs" chapters or is there any good stuff there?

Anything else to consider before studying theese books from a SHSS- point of view?

I hope not. I heard some good stuff about King Yao's book thou. Somebody actually read it? How about you Oink? You're a theoretical university-guy I guess you read it?

Re: how to use this litterature
 

Here is the list of read and want-to-read for me:

Theory of Poker - read most of it
Small Stakes Hold'em - read
Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players - read most of it
How Good is Your Limit Hold'em (and 2 which is out this month) - want to read
Inside the Poker Mind - want to read
Winning in Tough Hold'em Games - want to read

From the reviews I've read, that's about all I'm interested in as far as limit hold'em goes.

I read King Yao's book, I thought it was pretty good. the things that really stick out are the exact values of certain moves like raising for a free card, along with percentages on how often they need to 3bet or donk turn to make it EV-. I also use his method for evaluating pot odds to this day, I forget what he calls it though.

Not really IMO.

If you wanna learn small stakes 6max you need to read this forum.

Some basic concepts to be learned in SSSH.

Some advanced concepts to be learned in WITHG.

But basically everything you need to know about small stakes 6max can be found in this forum.
