What would you like to see covered in the upcoming SSNL book?
Hi Everyone,
As some of you may know, Matt Flynn, Ed Miller, and I are in the process of writing "Small Stakes No Limit Hold 'em: Winning Big With Expert Play." It's coming along great so far, and we hope to have it out by the end of the year. We'd also love to get some feedback from the posters in this forum. Are there any particular topics you'd like to see covered in the book? What facets of your game give you specific trouble? Feel free to elaborate about anything you always wanted to know and wish there was more literature on. Thanks, Sunny

Sunny,
Really looking forward to this. One thing that would be really great is some advice on calculating odds at the table when you're putting an opponent on a range of hands. Any quick formulas or tricks to do it in your head. For instance, you're considering calling an all-in with TPTK and a FD on the turn. You think opponent has a set (50%) two pair (30%) or worse draw (20%). I'd also love to see some treatment of how to play with stack sizes of various multiples of the pot - semibluffing, fold equity, strategies for getting it in, etc. Thanks NT

We might come up with a few shortcuts.

Re: What would you like to see covered in the upcoming SSNL book?
The turn checkraise all-in with an overpair. Its espoused by a lot of regulars but it rarely seems like a reason is given. There are a lot of different reasons for it that need to be discussed. Also giving other situations where it can be used (high underpair against habitual bluffer).
Hand reading. More specifically getting people to see if the whole "story" adds up or not. Pot control. Teaching people why it can be important to lay off the gas at times. The power of passivness. Against certain opponents (frequently found at these stakes), check calling can be a great way of getting money from an opponent who would have folded to a bet. Also, how to think about starting hands. Charts are too harmful. The people need to be able see the value behind different starting hands.

Re: What would you like to see covered in the upcoming SSNL book?
oo i get an early post on what will probably be a popular topic.
i agree with teemuj to an extent - i think a big part of SSNL that we (or at least i) sometimes tend to forget about is reading hands and adjusting to players. obviously there are some people who play so poorly that they may surprise us with the types of hands they are holding. but basically what i'm saying is, what do we want to be thinking about when trying to put an opponent on a hand? what do we want to be thinking about when we are trying to figure out how an opponent plays? what (if any) adjustments do we need to think about making based on those reads? how much are reads even involved at the SSNL level? just some basic types of questions like that would help out some people, in my opinion.

Re: What would you like to see covered in the upcoming SSNL book?
Two things
1. Online SSNL is only semideep, so it is easy to get sucked in and stacked. Pot management on 100xBB tables (How to play typical hand both in and out of position) 2. And the euro crowd (at least me) is interested in how to play the daytime 'Nits everywhere' tables (I assume you will be writing about full ring NL hold'em

I've taken to playing less and less against shorties but I wonder if I have tightened up too much. Lately, there seems to be at least one shortie at each table. Will that trend continue? Got to be at least a chapters worth of material in there.....
