Default Any good books for low-limit short hand?

Hi, I am pretty knew to the forum. I have a simple question and I think I know the answer but just to make sure ... is there any books written for low limit short handed games? I just bought and read SSHE, but I noticed that PS is the only site with active FR games. AP seems like its all 6 max, with maybe two FR's, and I guess I can't remember what FullTilt had but I didn't think there was many FR. So, being that I would rather play at AP, it seems I will have to learn short handed games. I read the reviews on Winning Tough Hold'em Games .. and Limit Hold'em: Winning Short-handed Strategies, but I don't know if they would work for lower limits?

HE for advanced players (sklansky) has some information on short-handed play.

However I would imagine that browsing these boards will and playing low, low limits will be the best way to learn.

play, post, learn, play better... something we've all done.

I think there is plenty of solid stuff in WITHG even for LL six max. You just have to remember to identify your opponents and choose the right advice accordingly.

If you play low limit you will probably play a lot of multiway hands, and that is very well covered in SSHE. Stox book is mainly about playing HU postflop against good players wich don't occur to often at 2/4 and below. A lot of the concepts in Stox book could still be used, but don't overdo it at those limits. A combination of Stox and SSHE should be somewhat optimal for SH-limit at small limits.

Maybe this is insider info since it hasn't been mentioned yet, so I hesitate to divulge...

I've been meaning to read that one. The 2nd one is difficult to find. I'd also recommend 'Inside the Poker Mind'.

When you say "the 2nd one" do you mean "How good is your limit hold'em (2)?" The reason it is hard to find is that it has not yet been published.
