I want to make NL TXHE cash games my main game, what to read?

kaidoy · #1 10-24-2005, 10:05 AM

Just playing poker for a year, I bought small stakes hold em, hold em for advanced players, the psychology of poker, winning 7 card stud, 7 card stud for advanced players, tournament poker for advanced players, harrington on hold em 1 (still wanna get 2), hi-lo split poker, super system 1+2 and the theory of poker

I now mainly play limit 2/4 - 5/10 TXHE at partypoker, Im no longer into any form of stud or split poker and while I enjoy and 'beat' NL TXHE tournaments I want to make NL TXHE cash games my main game...

As you can however see I don't really have a 'NL cash games pokerbook'. While Im probably doing fine right now I contribute that mainly to me playing no higher than the 100$ NL and the feel I got for the game trough experience from both limit and tournaments and reading the aforementioned books.
I guess that if I want to step up to a higher level in this game it would be usefull to read something more about it..

what could you recommend?

You have enough books. You should be fine. But someone will tell you to pick up Ciaffone's "Pot Limit and No Limit Hold Em". http://www.gamblersbook.com/weblink....il/521701.html

Good luck!

thanks,

also I was just wondering...
I hear people speak of H0H3 and a book of gus hansen,
can somebody tell me where I can find news messages of oncoming books; both 2+2 and others.. .??

HOH 3 is coming out Spring of 06 I believe. It is a workbook of problems/quizzes. Keep in mind, HOH deals mainly with tourney strategy, though HOH 1 could apply to cash games.

Gus's book is supposedly kaput.

Sklansky and Ed Miller have a NL book coming out late fall/early 06. That will be one to get for sure.

In the meantime, read SS2, Ciaffone's book, and these forums. Oh and Gordon's Little Green book - though it mostly applies to tourney play, you can still use many of the lessons for cash games.
