Lee Jones' Winning low limit holdem

[acadiamonds]

What are your thougts on this? I read it this week and I want to go to play some limit at Foxwoods. It says in the book it applies up to 4/8 hold em. I want to go play 5/10 or or 6/12. Does the book apply to these stakes as well? Thanks.

I liked this book for beginners a while back, I don't recommend it anymore. SSHE and HEFAP are much better.

[acadiamonds]

How come you don't recommend it anymore? And what do SSHE and HEFAP stand for? Thanks.

[Gonso]

Too basic and not needed anymore.

Small Stakes Hold 'Em and Hold'em for Advanced Players. Start with SSHE.

That's the book I read along with a couple others when I started playing at Foxwoods, and it's done just fine for me. I do agree that Small Stakes Hold'em is better though, and you should definitely give it a read.

When you get to Foxwoods, the options for limit aren't very broad. There's a 2/4 game, a 4/8 that basically plays the same as the 2/4, and once you reach 5/10, they are all kill games. The next up is 10/20, then 20/40, and I don't know about this one but I think 40/80's usually running.

If you play straightforward limit hold'em you'll kill the 2/4 and 4/8 games. They're very loose/passive generally. It's not uncommon to sit down and be up 29-30 BB's in an hour, so enjoy it.

The 10/20 and 20/40 at FW are not kill games.

I guess I worded that wrong, I meant that the only 5/10 available is killed. You're right that 10/20 and 20/40 are not kill games. Sorry for the confusion.

P.S. I also mistyped the BB winrate, that was supposed to be 20-30, not 29-30. I was up way too late last night when posting I see.

Thanks for the input. Pardon my lack of terminology, but what exactly is a "kill game"?
