If anybody wants to improve their shorthanded play, then it's quite good reading. I don't play much cash games myself, but i'm gonna start soon, so i try to improve my game at the moment. Hope it helps somebody

Yeah i play short and have had a quick look through this book and it seems a good read. Hasnt teached me anything yet but i'll get to the end and let you know.... Thanks for sharing
i got a fair way through but i find that with most poker reading i dont get huge amounts out of it.
Above the bare basics like pot odds and counting outs i find the best way to learn poker is to play it.
Its part of what i like so much about the full tilt poker academy. It forces you to put into practice all its lessons. It has made me suprised by just how well i do floating players when i have position.
If i call there flop bet then they check the turn i would say my bet takes the pot down about 80% of the time. I never realised how profitable floating could be. And it has such less risk than straight raising on the flop on a bluff.

lately I was considering start playing 6max tables so your thread is very useful to me
I don't play much cash game and when I do is 10 handed (where I use to play a bit tight) but lately I aim to have some more action con cash tables but I have to adjust my style for 6-handed. I will have a read this weekend ty paul
Quite interesting. In any case, playing short-handed u should change your game depending on opponents, table behaviour ... If you act always in the same way is very easy to be read

I'll get around to read it once I'm done with a few things I have to do. The thing is, I have a love-hate relationship with 6-max. I love the action they draw, but I find I cannot handle the bigger swings so well/..
