I've been playing NLHE everday since early March. March-May this was primarily tournament style with about 8 friends. Since then it's been a few cash games with friends but mostly online multi- and single-table tournaments. I've watched poker avidly on TV and read numerous articles/talked with friends much better than I am.
During the past week I read my first book on poker, Harrington Vol. 1. While I feel I got a lot out of it, I realized two things: (1) that I'll need to read it again & take notes to fully absorb it and (2) it probably shouldn't have been the first book I read on poker because I'm rarely (if ever) playing against anyone like the opponents he describes. So my question is, what should I read now? And which after that? I've heard the Lee Jones and Sklansky books on low-limit HE would be helpful to someone at my level, but are they more concerned with LHE than NLHE? From there I was planning to read the Theory of Poker and then then Hold 'Em for the Advanced Player with Harrington Vol. 2 sandwiched somewhere in there. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks...
