"....Winning Short-handed Strategies" vs. "Winning in Tough Games...."

[GoodOL]

I apologize if this has already been asked.

I am primarily a 3/6 SH player and will probably end up reading both these books, but right now I just want to read one. Which do you feel is better for a SH player:

"Winning in Tough Hold'em Games: Short-Handed and High-Stakes Concepts and Theory for Limit Hold'em" by Nick "Stoxtrader" Grudzien, Geoff "Zobags" Herzog

OR

"Limit Hold'em: Winning Short-handed Strategies" by Terry Borer, Lawrence Mak, Barry Tanenbaum


Thanks......

Since the latter isn't available yet, I can't compare them. WTHG is very good, though.

Barry is an execellent poker player as is Stox, I think you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didnt read/study both these books. Also does anyone know when Barry's book comes out? Im too lazy to look it up at this moment.

You left out World-Class High Stakes and Shorthanded Limit Hold 'em by Ray Zee and David Fromm (with Alan Schoonmaker). It should be relesed in September.

Best wishes,
Mason

Mason,

Just curious as to why 2p2 is publishing two books covering the same exact topic within 6 months of each other. The titles are nearly identical. Do Ray and David approach the game from that much of a different perspective?

I'm not Mason, but I've watched Dave Fromm's DVDs on shorthanded play. If these are an accurate reflection of the forthcoming book I'd say the answer is yes, their approaches are different in a number of ways.
