best book for short handed?

idxox · #1 02-06-2006, 03:56 AM

hi all, i am wondering if any of you can recommend the best books for playing short handed and 6 max tables. I am looking for a book that goes over all of the betting strategies on each round and includes many examples and hand quizzes. thanks.

I don't think there are any books written specifically or go into great detail on how to play short handed limit hold'em.

There are a few books that have small sections on short-handed play. "Weighing the odds in Hold'em" King Yao, and " Hold'em Poker for Advanced players" David Sklansky.

I can't recommend anything because it doesn't compare to the forums. If you're looking for content search for:

Small Stakes Shorthanded (forum)
SSHUSH Digest (subject only)
Peter Harris (author)

For the past 6 months. If you want something to read on the bus maybe view each of the link threads in flat mode and show all --> print onto looseleaf and stick it in a duotang.

I liked Matt Maroon's new book, check that out.

"How good is your limit hold'em" is a good book with alot of examples.

Is it probably better to wait for the 2nd edition? The first one seems to have many unnecessary mistakes.

Jesus .. the Matt Maroon book costs nothing practically .. so if you like it, buy it .. and then buy the second edition too .. it is not like you will go broke from it

And it is worth it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have no idea what kind of mistakes that are, just read it somewhere, but will hit up amazon now.....

But would suck if I start openlimping 24o UTG, wouldn't it?
