I'm new to the site and somewhat new to the game. I've been playing hold'em for a while with friends but a couple of months ago made the jump to the casino's. I've been playing low-limit stuff, 3-6, 4-8, and have done really well, thanks to some patience and going through all the poker material in the bookstore.
I've got a lot of strategy down pretty well, but have hit an area I'm not all that good at. I don't seem to pick up on tells and can't read hands all that well either. I can read bets okay, but in the low limit stuff people seem to bet so sparatically that I don't count on that all that much.
The punchline is...Is there some material out there I should be looking at? Is Mike Caro really the man, and is it worth 65 bucks to track down an out-of-print copy of his book? And what is my next step after learning all my starting hands, what to bet each round, and pot odds?
