Any book that does not include significant discussion of 6 max play (and heads up for that matter) is not serving the online player fully. End of story. The authors of Professional No-Limit can put 8 billion hearts under every post that basically says "poker is poker whether 10, 6, or 2 players are dealt in," and it won't change that fact.

A player that grasps the concepts of limit play spelled out wonderfully by Ed Miller in SSH can certainly beat 6max play at most limits. However another player that in addition to SSH, reads, understands and applies the 6 max lessons from WITHG will have a nice edge on the former player. This has nothing to do with "cookbook" play.

If the authors don't grasp this than I suggest they don't tackle 6 max in volume II, and myself and others will await more enlightened authors that will. The vast majority of online play is short handed. Limit authors have grasped this and are rushing to fill the void in the poker literature that existed. It would be a shame if no-limit authors failed to do so.
