After SSHE
 

OK, the search function and I don't get along well. Its awesome helping me find something if I have the poster's handle, but not so good at giving me results. So please, no search comments. I have read and re-read SSHE. As well as re-re-read some of the tougher sections. I did quite well at the .5/1 (full ring and 6-max) levels at UB. Recently I went to Atlantic City and played 2/4 and 3/6 and found the book even more helpful with the players there. I won a lot, though its a small sample. With some of the money, I was going to buy another poker book. Next time I go in a few months, I am going to take a shot at 5/10 with my winnings. OK, so the question is, what book would be most beneficial to buy next?

Re: After SSHE
 

-Theory of Poker
-Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players

Don't play limit too often, so I'm not sure how much the last title will work at 5/10 live.

Re: After SSHE
 

Theory of Poker definately
Hold'em for Advance Players as you move up in limits (or so I've been told. Apparently some of the more advanced plays are less useful against fish.)

As as supplement to SSHE, I'd read Weighing the Odds in Hold'em by Yao. The first 100 pages are review, but his later chapters, and short handed stuff are great!

If you're playing B&M I'd also read Caro's book of tells.

5/10 live or online? 5/10 the players suck and SSHE is what you need.

Re: After SSHE
 

5/10 live is definitely small stakes and SSHE is the way to go. After I read HPFAP I suddenly found myself applying some things best left to tougher games and struggled a bit until I realized I need to save some of those plays for higher limits.

I'd grab Theory of Poker next or HPFAP.

Re: After SSHE
 

I'd say all the books listed already (TOP, HEPFAP, WTO) but also consider "The Psychology of Poker". It'll help you focus more on yourself and what type of player you are and thus help you identify which type of game best suits you to play in.

It'll also give you strategies to play the different types of players you'll come up against and a it containg quick reference points in how to assess the type of player you are up against even by the way they dress (if you are playing B&M games).

Definitely a great supplement for SSH and any of the other books listed.

Re: After SSHE
 

I play 5-10 live or 10-20 live almost exclusively. Any of the books mentioned above would be a good read, but I would suggest you reread and study SSHE as your main preparation. Even at 10-20 this will be most helpful.

Re: After SSHE
 

I remember skimming through Ed Miller's new book, "Getting Started in Hold'em", and I seem to remember that he had book recommendations for continuing your poker education in there.

I don't remember what they are, but it's a place to look.

Re: After SSHE
 

In addition to the above, grab How Good is Your Limit Hold'em by Byron Jacobs. You'll be a limit stud in no time.

Re: After SSHE
 

You should get Theory of Poker... the best poker book I've ever read.

When I get my friends started playing limit, I recommend in this order...

Theory of Poker
Small Stakes Hold'em
Weighing the Odds in Hold'em Poker
Hold'em Poker For Advanced Players
Middle Limit Hold'em

and I've heard nothing but good things about How Good Is Your Limit Hold'em
