Best NL hold'em book?

[The T.A.]

I've read several limit hold'em books, specially HPFAP and WLLH, and have been trying to find a pure no limit hold'em book for a while.

I'm just wondering, what's the best pure NL hold'em book you can buy? May it be for either: ring games, or tournaments? I've heard good and bad things about Championship NL and Pot-Limit by Cloutier & McEvoy, and might look into that if there's nothing else.

Are there any other better alternatives?

Well, you're on twoplustwo.com... so guess what they'll recommend?
Harrington on Hold'em.

For cash games there is no beating Ciaffone%Reuben NL&PL.

For tournaments I think Harrington on Hold'em by Dan Harrington is best.

Championship NL&PL by Cloutier and McEvoy is the only book by Cloutier I'll recommend. And it's still filled with the fundamental problem of all Cloutier books, there are so many anecdotes to wade through while searching for strategy.

harrington on hold em is the best.

Use the search function. This has been covered a zillion times and there are several good threads on the topic.

Do you have some issue with 2+2 or something? It just seems every other post I see from you is anti2+2 in some way.

Just answer the question, please. If you do; I'm simply curious as to why (for what reasons).

I am someone who is also in search of the ultimate NL book. A new copy of Theory and HoH are both in the mail, so perhaps they shall satisfy me. However, as a recent purchaser of Championship No Limit and Pot Limit Hold'em, I will say DO NOT GET IT. It is very entertaining and well-worth a B&N trip to peruse in the store, but not worth $29.95. The advice is not really strategical, just story-like, and filled with crap such as, my personal favorite:

"A hand once came up in Dallas when I was playing against all the top players around and was running good. I was on the button looking down at this - 7h2h. There were 5 limpers in front of me. "I'm gonna steal this pot," I thought to myself, and put in a $400 raise. Much to my dismay, three of them called me. But the flop came 7-7-2. Now, how could they have put me on a hand like that?!"

Yeah, that's great advice Cloutier.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I've been hearing great things about HoH, so I'll start with that first.
