Do I have all the great books?

[Supern]

Are there any other great books out there that I should get?
I only play Hold 'em. I am playing limit now, but I'm also going to play NL.
I don't play many tournaments.

I have the following books:

2+2
---
TOP
SSHE
HPFAP
TPFAP
HOH1 (I will order HOH2 soon)
ITPM
POP

Ciaffone
--------
PL&NL Poker
MLHE
IYP

Others
------
Super System 2
Internet Texas Hold'em
WLLH 2nd
More hold'em excellence
How good is you pot-limit hold'em?
Mastering No-Limit Hold'em

I feel like I have all the essential ones. But please enlighten me if I don't.

I believe you got the most important books. However, I think many would add the two following books to the list of "hold'em essentials":

King Yao - Weighing the Odds in Hold'em Poker
Roy Cooke - Real Poker II: The Play of Hands

Also, if you play live, you should probably get Caro's Book of Tells.

You might also want to consider:

Gambling Theory and Other Topics
Getting the Best of it
Poker Essays 1-3
Sklansky on Poker

Hold'em Odds Book (Mike Petriv)
Poker, Sex and Dying (Juel Anderson)

King Yao's book seems ok. But looking at the TOC at amazon it seems like the only chapters that interests me are the "Player types" and "Shorthanded" chapters. The other ones seems ok as well, but stuff I already have in my other books.

I read that King Yao is working on a shorthanded book. I think I save my money for that one instead.

King Yao if you read this: are you working on a shorthanded book and when will it be finished if you do?

[Supern]

Books I look forward to is:

Theory and practice in NL Holdem, Ed Miller
The new Ciaffone NL book (hes working on one)
King Yao shorthanded book (if he is working on it)

Are there any more interesting books being written?

I am especially interested in Shorthanded (FL or NL) and NL books.

Books from pro players interested to just cash in don't interest me.

Well, I think that both Daniel Negreanu and Gus Hansen are working on books. Sounds interesting to me, but I don't know how it sounds to you.

[Supern]

I hope the books will be great.
But I will not buy them until proven. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I just made a mistake buying "Mastering No-Limit Hold'em".
Just a waste of time reading it in my opinion.

Pop gave you some great suggestions.

I would also consider:

Getting Started in Holdem
How Good is Your Limit Holdem

Finally, here are the best of the McEvoy series, which are good not great:

New Players Guide to NL Holdem
Championship PL & NL Holdem
Championship Tournament Practice Hands
Championship Satellite Strategy

PS Mastering NL Holdem is not a great poker book.

Totally agree.
I think it was wasted money.
I just listed all my books.

Getting started in hold 'em?
Why should I buy a beginners book?

What do you like about "How good is your limit hold 'em"?

[popniklas]

What is the target audience of "How good is your limit holdem"? Is it for loose small stakes games, or more aimed at mid-limit play?

Does it contain anything you will not get out of reading SSH, HPAP and Yao's book?

It's for mid limit play really.

And there is nothing new in the book. It's just a long series of problems to work through. An excellent read on a long train ride.
