After SSHE

[binions]

I'd throw Theory of Poker in there as well. It deals with games besides hold'em, but it uses lots of limit hold'em examples.

Have you read Cooke's Play of Hands? If so, why does it not make the Intermediate list?

What about Abdul Jalib's 1999 essays "Preflop Strategy", "Theory of Sucking Out", and "Raising after Loose Limpers"? It's not a book, but he talks about many of the concepts you and Yao later discuss in your books.

Finally, I know why Middle Limit Holdem did not make your list, but do you think it could with some editing out of the weak-tight BS (a la WLLHE 3rd)?

PS Byron Jacobs, author of How Good is Your Limit Holdem, is coming out with a beginner holdem book. Haven't seen it yet, but it's listed on Amazon.
