Do I need both ToP and SSHE

[Diana Ross Fan]

I'll go out and say that ToP did nothing for my game. It is an interesting laundry list of poker tactics, but I thought that 98% of it has been published in books that are easier to read.

Does any one ever actually see a game on the internet like the games SSHE describes? Even .50/1 online seems to be tighter than the sort ofgames SSHE is aimed at

depends on the table and the site. sometimes you get different table conditions at the same table throughout the evening

Probably not online but where I play live the games are loose with family pots at 2/4, 5/10 and sometimes 10/20

I agree. When I first read SSHE, I only played online and was wondering what he was talking about. The loosest games I found online qualified as his description of tight. Then I started playing live and the loose tables were just like he described. I also see 10/20 live as the level where the play is tighter, more aggressive, and has more tricky players.

if you play commerce up to at least 100/200 on a weekend night you see the types of games ssh describes.

I seldom see those type of games in Vegas. On the rare occasion that I do see them, there's always a monster luckbox that's winning all the money and everyone else is chasing to try to bust him.

Huh? Seldom? Man, I seldom see games that aren't, and I'm out of those and into one that is as quick as you can say, "table change!"

At the Orleans yesterday, typical loose/passive game exactly as described. At Red Rock last night, weak/tight, exactly as described.

SSHE was written for live games, not online. With that in mind, it's THE book for low limit holdem games in LV.

Then you must be playing a different game than low-to-mid limit Holdem.
