Not too negative. Have considered the game essentially "unbeatable", but I enjoy it so if I can keep the entertainment cost as low as possible by playing better, I don't mind putting in some effort.
For whatever it's worth, I believe I can actually get behind this attitude. No reason not to work on short-handed play. Every now and then at a juicy $4/$8 table there will inexplicable pots where only 2 or 3 people see the flop. Knowing the best play to make in those rare situations can only help the old winrate.
Out of curiosity has anyone read the latest edition of Limit Hold'em for Advanced Players? If so, is there anything in it that could help one's game in juicy lowstakes games full of bad players? I've been wanting to buy it but the pricetag is pretty high. But if it'll pay for itself when I play a few pots differently I'm up for that.

Yup little to high for my taste as well .
I will buy it eventually when special arrives or CA$ stop tanking vs US$
I guess I would be very surprised if there's anything in the book that will meaningfully add to what you will have already seen in past books and from reading posts in this forum.
I read it. I didn't find it something I went back to again and again like SSHE. I am rereading The Intelligent Poker Player by Phillip Newall which is rereadable as it has some nice ideas and concepts are both interesting and thought provoking.
On the subject of LHE books, I'm wondering what do you guys think of the book ''Limit Hold'em: winning short-handed strategies'' by Terry Borer and Lawrence Mak? I remember getting this book from the Pokerstars Store with my frequent player points ages ago before the year 2010 when I first started playing online.
I never hear anyone talking about this book anywhere on this forum. I think it's ok, not great though, lots of outdated advice also.
Winning in tough hold em games is definitely superior. I don’t think the advice is horrible though and I like the presentation of the book. Honestly if you followed the book’s advice you’d probably win in all but the toughest 20/40 games (which probably aren’t worth playing in anyway).
