Help me pick my next poker book please
 

Me:

Online low limit hold em player for about 9 months. Been a "winning" player for probably the past 2-3. I also occasionally play NL tournaments, either 1 table SNG's or small home tournaments with friends or medium sized NL tournaments (70-80 people) in local sports bars for prizes, etc.

The books I currently own, in the order I got them.

1. Winner's Guide to Texas Hold'Em - Ken Warren

(my first book, not that great, helped me with alot of the math initially).

2. No-Limit Texas Hold'Em - Doughetry/McEvoy

(very little on content, mostly very basic stuff I had learned through experience already)

3. Winning Low Limit Hold Em - Lee Jones

(a good book, definitely on the passive side though)

4. The Theory of Poker - Sklansky

(FINALLY I discover 2+2, book opened my eyes to tons of stuff, tons of new concepts).

5. Small Stakes Hold Em - Miller/Skalansky/Malmuth)

(this book is what has turned me into a passive break even player into a more aggressive profitable player).


The question is, what should be 6? I was thinking either Harrington on Hold Em I or should I go some other direction? Thanks.

the Harrington is fine if you're leaning towards more NL ring and tourney play.

for limit grinding, you can honestly just read SSH...again. HEFAP once you move up in limits. or ITH if you want more LHE reading from a slightly different but reliable perspective.

I highly suggest HOH Volume 1 and 2(when it comes out)

6. Gambling Theory and Other Topics by Mason Malmuth

My reasons why are here and other posters list good choices.

HPFAP - This should contrast nicely with small stakes and teach you how to play in a different (tight aggresive) game and against better, thinking, players.

i would say zen and the art of poker at this point.

it's not a strategy guide, but more an inside your head type book. i thought it was great - and got to it right about the point you're at now.

but none of the other suggestions are bad at all.

Although, I'm only halfway through the King Yao book, so far it has been a good read. If you are continuing with limit hold em I would recommend it.
