Just received Ed Miller's Ebook, Ed personally sent it after a time zone problem over the pre-order price. Ed's customer service aside, his book is "the real deal" for 6max. At 304 pages, the book manages to cover 1-2$ 6max from A to Z, with an order that emphasizes a "From the Button" approach to the game instead of a from UTG approach. Essentially, instead of focusing on playing tight up front and opening your range as you approach the button, Ed focuses on the button and the importance of stealing first. The book is much, much more logically structured than most of the other poker books I've read, not just in the order of its subjects but on the depth of the material and the levels it thinks on. I've made it thru' half of the book so far, and while as a seasoned mid stakes player I don't find it ground breaking, I still find myself constantly nodding my head and agreeing with his analysis and observations. Even if the material doesn't take you to the next level, and I think for the majority of readers it will, it has to be the most well spoken, well thought out book on the subject of poker I've read in recent memory.

It's a great read, and I can't wait to finish the second half of the book. Easily worth the pre-order price, and I wouldn't have regretted paying the full price for it if I had to (thanks again Ed).

Rumor has it that he has a couple of coauthors.

Do you know if it allows the purchaser one printing?

As far as I can tell you can print as many as you want.

Lets see how long thread lasts before it gets deleted.

It's just a standard PDF with a password so you can print it.

bought it at the pre-order-price and now read the first 50 pages. it seems to be well structured and a very decent read until now and i am curios how i feel after i read the full book. i play NL25 SH at ftp and stars and in the past i struggled every time, when i tried to go up to NL50 SH. i hope with reading and working with this book, i will succeed the next time i try it.

I think it depends if people what people write about the book. If they post reviews, discuss the poker in the book, and maybe even discuss any issues in downloading, etc., the thread probably won't be deleted or closed. Discussing non 2+2 books has always been acceptable. Soliciting sales is an entirely different matter. Therefore, if posters keep the thread mostly about the poker in the book I assume it will stay.

Yeah but its 300+ pages so be prepared for a hefty folder.
I'm about 60 pages in and it's well written and I like the structure so far, looking forward to getting into the heavier strategy content (hopefully) in the rest of the book.

Will post back a quick review when I'm done.

I've only got as far as page 80 so far, but I do like the typical Miller (Mehta & Flynn) writing style.

The 'Stealling Blinds' section seems like a good summary of Ed's 'Blind Stealing' series on stoxpoker (how many hours of video was that again!) and 'Barreling' would be his 'Big Hands, Big Pots' videos.

This is also my first e-book purchase. What I like is I have been able to take a sneak look now and again (up to page 80!) while sat here at work. Hey - it looks like I'm working!

But I do wanted a printed copy that I can take with me anywhere, and having a hardcopy I can scribble on seems like a good idea too. So it looks like I'll be working late again. Well, at least until there is no-one around to see what is coming off the printer.

[I know. I'm a bad, bad, boy!]

As long as the thread stays on track as a content discussion, it stays. Anything else will be deleted. Please don't comment on the content unless you have read it or are commenting on content/concepts posted here.

What's the title of the book and how do I purchase it?

I'm not sure if links are allowed so I will just suggest you google "small stakes no limit holdem" to find where to buy.

Found it. Go GOOOOOOOOGLE

I purchased the book and did a quick read through of part 1. While the analogy was good and it served as a good intro, the beginning really isn't anything earth shattering (I wasn't expecting it to be though). The bulk of the book seems to be Part 2 (beating 200NL), which I did skim through and it looks pretty good. Its full of detailed hand examples illustrating a ton of different concepts. It looks pretty good so far, I can't wait to get into the rest of it.

On a technical note, I wish there was another way for them to protect the book besides sticking a randomly generated password on it. I can already foresee that being a real annoyance given that you have to enter it every single time you open the pdf.
