All the books you are thinking of getting are well worth the investement, so it all depends if you have the money to get them all at once, or whether you need to save in advance.

However, if you want to work on n/l then the obvious choice is to get the Harrington books. If you plan to continue with limit poker, then get TOP and Weighing the Odds (although if you are playing $1/2, then I'd suggest sticking with SSHE for now). If you want to work on the psychological aspect of the game, then go for POP and Ace on the River.

I would look to get all the books you mentioned when you can.It basically comes down to what area of poker you intend to focus on at the moment, and how much money you have available to spend.

As deacsoft says, I would certainly make sure to purchase TOP, and also agree with the rest of his listings. I would also throw SS2, and PL and NL Poker by Ciaffone and Reuben into the mix for cash games. If you are just starting out in NL play, there is some great advice in GSIH by Ed Miller.

Two other books you may want to look at is Professional Poker by Mark Blade and Inside the Poker Mind by John Feeney.

ToP #1

HOH1/HOH2 if you want to play NL tounrys

I STRONGLY recommend Inside the poker mind...best non direct-strategic poker advices ever + interesting topics

Psycology of poker was okay I guess, but to be honest, it wasn't as good as ISPM to me. still great book that's worth the money.

Ciaffone 's Improve your poker is another all-around golden advices essay collection

Ciaffone/Rueben's NL book is currently the best NL cashgame book if you are interested.

i hope that helped [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

(Limit Hold'em)
Theory Of Poker
Middle Limit Hold'em

[Big Bend]

Ya good list. Along with Pot-Limit & No-Limit Poker by Reuben & Ciaffone also eventually get Inside the Poker Mind and Phil Gordon's Little Green Book. Mason's poker essays books are also good. Have fun...

[Indiana]

In my opinion, Middle Limit Holdem is the best book ever written. The others mentioned here are good, but this is high above the rest.
