Book Advice

Comparing it to SSH is kinda pointless, SSH is an intermediate-advanced small stakes book. WLLH is what you give to someone who has yet to play his first hand of hold'em. It's like comparing basic trigonometry with multivariate calculus.

Very true, good analogy. I think the main reason I compare the two is because I've heard enough discussion of getting one over the other, getting both, reading them individually, simultaneously, etc. It's not that I think the books are the same or at the same level. My point was that it might be more attractive for someone to read a shorter book even though much of SSH are hand quizes...

Thanks again for all the posts. I got WLLH 2 days ago and read about half of it, however, after having read SSHE(which by the way is excellent) I find WLLH very simplistic. I've had SSHE for a month and a half now and have reread it several times. I also got HEAP which I plan to read next after mastering SSHE. But I tend to read the sections in it that are referenced by Ed Miller. I find this to be very helpful.

As for a NL tournament book I decided to go HOH for now. But I will still get David Sklansky's book later on.

Once again thanks to all those who helped.

To help facilitate the learning process, I think you'd do well to read a book through, then go to the next, then the next, then the next...

I'm on a pretty steady rotation of SSH, TOP, HPFAP, and now HOH and once I get to the end, I start back at the beginning.

Not to hijack the thread, but I do exactly the same thing Baron.

Does anyone have any thoughts for my 5th book for the rotation? I was going to add Psychology of Poker with Stars FFP points, but I am not sure it would belong in the rotation.
