Depending on your skill level, I found Mastering No Limit Hold'em to be pretty decent.

Aaah, deja vu. I was wondering when todays 'what's the best book for NL cash games' thread would appear.

You may have to search around for it, but my favorite is:

"Grillin' like a Villian: How one Baltimore Nigga moved from Dope Slingin' to Trumpin' the tables of da Taj Mahal, NL style baby!"

No Im not black, just been watching too much of The Wire.

No, really? Someone has asked aout books for NL cash games before? I find that hard to believe.

none exists that is really good. harrington and robertie are currently writing one, and based on their previous work i assume it will become the definitive work on nl cash games. however, if you are willing to do some serious reading, i believe you can get the background necessary, and then apply it to NL cash games. there are many good books on limit poker, tournament nl poker, and poker theory. i would real all of the following;

THEORY OF POKER by David Sklansky
Considered the top general poker book of all time. General poker concepts that you must know. A great book.

HOLD'EM POKER FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS by David Sklansky & Mason Malmuth
Considered the most important advanced work on the game today. Full of strategic concepts. A must read. However, it is not clearly written, and will take time to digest much of what is written. Sklansky is the foremost poker author in the world. You will learn an incredible amount from this book.

SMALL STAKES HOLD 'EM by Ed Miller, David Sklansky & Mason Malmuth.
A great book on small stakes Hold 'em. Not for the beginner. It incorporates a lot of the principles of the two above mentioned books ('Hold 'em for Advanced Players" and "Theory of Poker").

MIDDLE LIMIT HOLDEM by Bob Ciaffone and Jim Brier
Many two plus twoers this this book teaches weak tight play. However, it is still a very good book. Especially in discussing the "texture of the flop" on each hand. I find starting Nl cash game players often overlook this important concept. I like this book a lot.

CHAMPIONSHIP NO-LIMIT POT LIMIT HOLD 'EM by T.J. Cloutier & Tom McEvoy
Probably the best book on no limit. (Please note that the same authors also wrote "Championship Hold'em", which is a very different book, don't get them confused when ordering). THis book is not great, but somewhat helpful.

SUPER/SYSTEM (A Course in Poker Power) by Doyle Brunson
Many poker player simply call this the bible. The book is great, and changed the way many people play poker. The top experts in each field write about each of their games. I recommend the section no limit - it was written for cash games. However, it is poorly written, you often need to figure out what Doyle is trying to say, and it is far from comprehensive.

CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT PRACTICE HANDS by Tom McEvoy and T.J. Cloutier
Goes over hands for no limit. Tells you your options on how to play each "real" hand in different positions.

TOURNAMENT POKER FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS by David Sklansky
This work is vital for anyone playing tournaments.

HARRINGTON ON HOLD 'EM Vol I & II
These are not written for cash games, and the books deal with tournament play (where the blinds are important and are going to rise). However, they are great nl books, and will be the most helpful books for your NL cash games.

If you read all of the above, then sit in low limit cash games, you can and will learn quickly. After reading these books, play play play, and you will become a good player.

Additionally, be aware that because the blinds are so low in regard to your stack, the correct play is much tighter then in tournament play - there is no money to win by stealing the blinds.

And I might e-mail 2 +2, or Robertie, to ask when the nl cash game book will be out.
