Default Re: What is the best reading material for today\'s online low limit hol

One big difference is that online $2-$4 players typically play something like 30% of their hands rather than the 60%+ you see in casinos. That's huge. There are far fewer online players who play every hand. Live $2-$4 games are a lot like online $0.02-$0.04 games. It looks like in the full ring $0.02-$0.04 games on PokerStars, between 50% and 55% of the players are seeing the flop, compared with 24% at $2-$4. Live $20-$40 players are looser than the latter.

Much of SSHE is about getting the most in pots where loose players have contributed a lot of dead money. You have to exploit other mistakes in online small stakes games. That said, there is still a lot of good, relevant material in SSHE. It just takes more work to apply it.
