Do you have a favorite book for NL cash?

I am looking for a good read on NL cash (1/2 or 2/5), these seem hard to find (and yes, I have used the search util on these forums [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] )

Super System
No Limit/Pot Limit Poker
HOH vol 1

those all seem to be good ones based on what people on this forum have said

Thx!

BTW, Ive worn the cover off HOH VI [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Regardless of the specific game, Sklansky TOP is indispensable.

"Nolimit and potlimit poker" by Reuben and Ciaffone is really great. This is this kind of book which you read first time and say : "WTF ? its all too obvious", you read it second time and you see some nuances and some interesting things, you read it third time... and you see how less you knew about the game.

Best wishes

i agree with that. that's the only book that's changed my game significantly enough to mention.

Don't forget "Zen and the Art of Sucking Out" and "Zen and the Art of Flopping Sets."

Seriously though, isn't HOH for tournaments? Be careful applying tournament strategy to cash games.

Reu/Cia is definitely a nice read.
TOP and HEFAP are must-reads for any limits/game.

I haven't read HOH yet but people seem to enjoy it.

a lot of his stuff is still really good for the early betting rounds. also, a lot of live games these days play like tourneys (<40BB's to start) due to the structures that cardrooms like (lots of action, little player overlay).

That is exactly what I said after I read the book. I guess it's time to go through it again.
