Ed Miller's Short Hand Strategy on Full Tilt...

Anyone got a link describing Ed Millers system? Curious to see what its all about. Found one post about it but it was pretty vague.

I think the book is about $14 on Amazon. I bought it long after I started playing (and long after I read Small Stakes Holdem and a whole bunch of other books) and I got at least equal value. You'll waste $14 in time trying to dope out what SSS is all about by sifting through countless "I love SSS/I hate SSS" threads.

Actually, Ed's site goes into the SSS in great depth. NLH:T&P covers the benefits of playing short as well.

But like QL said, GSIH is well worth the few bucks it cost, no matter what version of hold'em you play.

Wow this thread is going well.

Couple of points tho...

Hyper_dermic:

1. I appreciate your point of view. I think you're right actually, I don't feel I am learning too much about poker doing this. It's getting bloody boring too.

2. I can actually play poker. I'm not a rank beginner. I got my bankroll above $500 at one stage and have never been more than $60 under the break-even-line, and that was after I started this SS stuff (I must admit I wasn't playing it strictly to begin with). I am learning, I've read some great books, and played a hell of a lot of hands of the past 6 months. I am still not a great player, but it's not as if I just picked up a deck of cards.

3. "kid"? I'm 29 and a semi-professional rugby player. I'm a kid when it comes to poker, granted.

Thanks for you advice anyway mate, I appreciate it and I do see where you are coming from!

Dumb Fish x, you should PM ImsaKidd and send him all your hands. He is a shortstacker to and he's very good at it. He's always willing to help new players.

Hey fish [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (its funny saying that)

I hope you didnt take it personally, i dont know your background so i just threw out a blanket statment. From your posts it seems like you were new and wanted to learn how to play very well. I just dont see that happening with SSS.

Although, after some others have posted the advantages of SSS for new players, i can see how it could be handy in keeping people from going broke in the very early phases of learning.

I wish ya the best of luck in whatever you decide to do. I'll help out if i can. Although live limit is where i spent most of my time, recently ive switched over to Live and online NL. Not to mention read as many of the 2+2 books i could get my hands on [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Oh and for the record, i call everyone "Kid" or "Kiddo" regardless of age.. its something my Father always did, and i guess i just picked it up.

Hand #6 brings questions.....

what does Ed say in his book about this kind of situation?

calling an AI w/ 88 to a board of A/6/6 can never be a +EV (or simply "good play") short or deep stacked
