Default List of PokerStars books

I play NL Holdem and had some extra FPP so I ordered Holdem For Advanced Players, only to find out that the book is about fixed limit holdem and doesnt even mention no limit.

To avoid making the same mistake, here is a list of possible books that pokerstars has and I am willing to order:

Please tell me wich of these is about NL.

Winning Low Limit Hold Em, By Lee Jones
Tournament Poker, By Tom McEvoy
Championship Satellite Strategy, By Tom McEvoy and Brad Daugherty
Championship No-Limit & Pot Limit Hold Em, By Tom McEvoy & T.J. Cloutier
Tournament Poker for Advanced Players, By David Sklansky
Psychology of Poker, By Alan Schoonmaker with Consultant David Sklansky
Internet Texas Hold Em, By Matthew Hilger
Internet Poker: How to Play and Beat Online Poker Games, By Lou Krieger
Hold Em Poker, By Gary Carson

It's still worth your while to read it carefully.

I expect you can make a good guess on this one.

IIRC, nothing on NL. In fact, very little strategy.

First, PokerStars seriously needs to get some other books in. I have 9700 FPP's and can't find anything to do with them (I hate tournaments and their merchandise is - for the most part - useless to me.


The only book I can be sure of that has a NL section is stipulated right in the title: the one by Cloutier and McEvoy. Not a huge fan of the book - starting hands in various positions, etc and TJ telling some of his good ol' boy Texas gambler stories and what-not ........ tedious, really.

I think Tournament Poker by Sklansky and Psychology of Poker by Schoonmaker are worth your while, though.
