Re: Tanenbaum or Stox?

His Advanced Strategy book is both a combination of stuff he has written for Card Player (some of which has been reworked) and all new material.

I'll probably get it given I'm in LA and don't play much higher than 20/40; from the CP articles Barry's style is fairly well suited for these mid level full ring games.

The Shorthanded book is written by two Shorthanded experts named Terry Borer and Lawrence Mak with BT acting as a collaborator. To be honest, you could give the Advanced book a miss. It's pretty good but not "essential" however the SH book is a must have for any serious limit hold 'em player. It is the best material available on short handed play. I don't know of anyone yet who has read this book that wasn't highly impressed by it.

It will be interesting to compare this with the Stox book. There's not too much short play in LA B&M below 40/80 but sometimes the short strategy can be applied when you have walkers or the game is starting and tight.
Thanks for the heads up.
