Hi Mike -

I think the books are overall on different topics. Stox/Zobags deal with tough games (e.g. very high-limit) and focuses on strategic aspects. I think it is an excellent book.

Our book (winning short-handed strategies) is intended to comprehensively cover short-handed limit play. This means we covered all relevant topics. Some of these topics like statistics, player modeling, seat selection and rake/rakeback can be considered fluff but I think these are underdeveloped areas where many readers could benefit.

I did a quick look through the winning SH strategies book and counted nearly 200 pages of "hard strategy". In my opinion the two books are equally advanced but are presented in different ways.

Finally, thanks Adman for your comments on the book. We're really glad you've enjoyed the book and think so highly of it.
