Learning the game of No-Limit Hold 'Em...

[Schwartzy61]

So I have been a relatively successful micro limit hold 'em player and am looking to branch out into the small stakes No Limit ring games to whore the Prima Skins more efficiently and also add a little spice to life. I'll probably eventually get more into the tournament structures but for now would just like to learn the No Limit ring game strategy. So I was curious as to what everyone thinks are the best books to begin learning the new skills required for this game. I have listed several options in the poll, vote for your 3 favorites, if there is one that especially helped you or isn't listed go ahead and give comments below.

Hopefully a get a few good answers from the crowd that will help me refine my search on the subject, thanks in advance...

There have been 5 or 6 threads on what is the best NLHE book in this forum over the last month or so. And dozens over the last year. No one can tell you what is the best for you. If you go back through the postings and read the pros and cons of the various books discussed, you can make your own decision.

I'm not entirely sure that's an exaggeration. That's only like 13 new threads on this a day...seems about right. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

DeLillo is weak-tight. Elmore Leonard will do a lot more for your NL game.

A. The search function and I don't get along. It's failed me in the past and I really don't feel like bothering with it.

B. I created a nice little poll and everything, had to go out and search for the books on Amazon, I just couldn't find any good reviews on these books from a source I would trust.

C. Thank you Dale for an actual response!

D. Why do people feel compelled to click on a Thread that they know they will not like? Do you guys realize you don't have to click on every thread in every forum on this site?

E. You know my Momma always said "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." Sound advice, sound advice.
