Which book for micro limit NL
I hear all the rants about SSH but, then I hear it's geared more towards limit play. Will it help with microlimit NL or should I look for a different book.
Thanks |

For me - Super System. This is the only book I thought was worth anything.

Re: Which book for micro limit NL
I've been meaning to get that but, I read somewhere it was more for mid and high stakes. I've got to be doing something wrong, one day it's like shooting fish in a barrel and the next day it's like shooting fish in a bowl and I'm the fish. I know "that's poker" but, I think I'm playing way too loose.

The NL section advocates a very aggressive style of play that works pretty well for SSH 6-max games. It works well (with modifications) for a number of reasons: (1) weak opposition (in the sense of folding too much), (2) your losses are limited with a fixed buy-in, (3) it turns you into an action player. The last thing is really important because if you play very conservatively at SSH its hard to get enough good action on your good hands to make enough money to even bother. Passion |

Re: Which book for micro limit NL
SSH does not apply to NL play.
ToP, SS, HOH (especially vol. 1), and the blue Ciaffone book are my picks. (Not necesarrily in that order). |

Thank you Grunchcan and Passion. After 15 years on the net, the FAQ was the first place I checked but left me with questions. Ya'll answered them. I will be buying SS and PL&NL by ciaffione today.

You should be aware that of all the books I mentioned, ToP is the most substantial. It's also the hardest to understand.

Re: Which book for micro limit NL
With the question I posted I was hoping to get the opinion of a few players as opposed to the one who posted the FAQ. Since I'm new to this forum I don't know the person that posted the FAQ so I figured if a few players had the same recommendations.... Just doing a little research before I go and purchase a book and spend time reading it.
