I already have TPFAP, although I admit I haven't given it a through read yet because I haven't played many tournaments.

I'll probably be playing micro no limit tables when I first start out. Ring games, probably very few tournaments.

I'm looking for one or two books to help me adjust to no limit.

There seems to be a lot of fans of Pot Limit and No Limit Poker by Bob Ciaffone & Stewart Reuben on this site. I'm a little worried that I might need something more basic at first. I have never seen this book in a store so I'm not sure how advanced it is.

I did see a new book by Tom McEvoy & Brad Daugherty at a book store recently. I think it's called No Limit Hold'em? Mason gave it a positive review (8), and said it was good for beginners, but didn't really give any other details.

What book(s) should I get?

There aren't a lot of choices.

The NL section of Brunson's "Super System" helped me, though most of the rest of the book is dated.

I looked through this at the bookstore. It assumes no poker knowledge at all for the first chapter. After that they assume you are a limit player who is just starting out in NL. Given Mason's review, it's probably a good choice for you.

Lowest price I've seen is $17.47 + shipping at B&N online. (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=mHu19xyNRA&isbn=1580421482& itm=3) Overstock.com is often best for books but they don't have this one.

The Tom McEvoy & Brad Daugherty book is written for tournament play with one chapter at the end on the adjustments to make if playing ring games. It's a good book for limit players wanting to learn no-limit.

Super-System should probably be your next read. After that you can read Ciaffone.

Of course the No-Limit forum should be on your reading list as well.
