Default Bob Ciaffones new N/L book

Bob has indicated he is hoping for a winter release of his new N/L book. I predict christmas time.
It will be a beauty of a book from what I have studied of his previous works.
I also predict it will be the definitive must have book on no limit. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Jim-
what is his best NL book previous to this one coming in Dec? I have good things about his work...but have not heard any titles or seen many ads for them.

What would you recommend getting? I actually would like to begin reading more NL material. What could you suggest? I have read all the Sklansky books...they seem to be mostlt limit, however. I am interested in playing more NL - tourns. and such.

thanx much- and peace
sly

His Pot-Limit/No-Limit Poker is a good solid book that will give you a decent grounding in big-bet poker in general, but the section on Holdem is kind of sparse. Even having said that, it's probably the best book out there except for maybe SuperSystem (and the style presented in that is ery hard to play well).

Considering his Omaha book (100 pages, containing hilo and limit too), I am not so sure, though I understand it can be tough to be more specific at omaha (pl), in case not filling it with more examples that I might not like (there were too many at MLHP from Brier). His book as far as I know will be more or less split between cash game and tournaments.

I recently got his PL/NL book (yesterday in fact). I've only read about a quarter of it, but it is a great book, and I'd highly recommend it.

Bobs N/L - P/L book is the best out there.
Supersystem is also worth the money for N/L.
Tournament poker for advanced players is excellent for getting the fundamentals as well.
Bob is busy with a new poker site and this has delayed his book.
Expect the book to receive excellent reviews and sales.

Ciaffone's and Reuben's NL/PL book is very good. Before I head out to play any live game I always refresh myself with the concepts in it. It is worth it's money one thousand fold.

Super System is next on my list of reads for NL and PL. It contains a lot that is out of date, but the NL section is still a must read.
