You're right, it's not important what book you read... you could read Lee Jones like I did, try to beat the games and get incredibly frustrated following that advice. Then you could grind out 300k hands of limit poker, discovering that Ed Miller is the small-stakes poker genius for the 21st century about halfway through those hands after reading and applying SSHE. Then you could try his short stack theory while you work on the intricacies of NLHE from a medium or large stack.

Or you could just go buy GSIHE and skip all that other crap.

OP: Unless you're truly set on learning NLHE, limit is where most knowledgeable people recommend you start.... GSIHE and SSHE by Ed Miller, and it's not even close.
