Hey fellas,

For someone who has read HEFAP and plays 3/6 (ME!) would poker essays be a good logical step in terms of literature? If so, which ones? If not, any other book that might be og particular value - assume I have read most low limit books.

Get all 3 of them.

thats some pretty general advice, ok, fine.

what if i were to add that I am seeking to improve my 3/6 games and have my eyes on the 5/10 game.

I've only read Volume III. I found it quite worthwhile and have added Volumes I & II to my "to read" list.

The essays are a collection of articles that Mason has written over the years. If I am not mistaken the volumes are organized by time periods not by topics. For example there are "Technical Matters" sections in each volume.

If you want to become a better player and evenutally want to move up, to 5/10 and beyond, they are all worthwhile, together with the forums and a lot of other books that are out there.

If you want to read 1 at a time that is fine too.
