Im getting much better playing at the the 9/10 table rings..because ive bought books by courtier/brad doughetery explain what hands to play etc. But they really dont go into detail about shorthanded play really all they say is when its shorthanded you'll be inclinde to play more hands etc. Can someone recommend some books or go into detail about what to do when the table is say from 6 handed to heads up..Thanks

There arn't really any.

Suited connectors and suited aces go down in value.

High cards go way up in value.

Look at the starting hand chart for a full table and remove the first 3 or 4 positions.

Top pair is a monster.

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Sklansky's holdem book has an ok chapter on shorthanded play, but its really for limit. His tournament book has some good stuff on FT play. But experiance seems to be the only thing that ever really helped me. If you find anything let me know.

Can ya give me a link to where i can buy that book, i have 2 books right now one by coutriet/tom mcveoy and another one with mcvevoy/draugetry (sorry bout the name butchings, seems like mcveeoy is caking off these books lol). "champsionship pot/no limit hold em" and "no limit hold em".

I was thinking about buying super system by bronson because it shows a lot of odds/statics etc about poker.
