Is no-limit/pot-limit literature worth the investment?
If so, then what material do you suggest based on the little information i'm about to give you. I've been succesfful at .25/.50 no-limit for a few months now, but I haven't read any current NL/PL books. I've read supersystems, but don't find its NL section that useful online, and have developed a more instictual game based on what i know from my limit literature and NL experience. I understand the value of literature in limit games because of the mechanical structure, but other than my limit knowledge of odds and hand value etc. do i need a lot more specific advice to no-limit other than what i can develope with exprience. I have read the following books:
-Caro's Tells -SSH -SuperSystem -WLLH -only the limit and tournament material so far from PPLP by Helmuth My goal is to repair any leaks in my game, any recomendations would helpful. I'm also very interested in PL if there are specific recomendations for that.

yes, and
Theory of Poker is an absolute, categoric must-read.
the Ciaffone NL book (my fav poker book, even if it is a touch weak- gloss over the part about laying down a flopped set etc.) will teach you how to think like a NL player Theory of poker will teach you to think like a poker player the way i see it is this: every dollar i spend on poker books adds to my long term expected earn rate. unless i plan to stop playing tomorrow, books are certainly +EV

Re: Is no-limit/pot-limit literature worth the investment?
The two books that changed my game the most (I play pot limit 0.25/0.50) is theory of poker and hold'em poker for advanced players. Even though the advanced book isn't for big bet poker its easy to adapt to no limit and pot limit I think. Worked out great for me atleast. Well worth the investment.

The books folder has several threads on the McEvoy/Cloutier book which I have found helpful but others despise.

Those posters who cite limit books as helpful for NL are insane
The betting strategy is utterly different. Relying on a limit book for help is asking for trouble.
And I'm very surprised you don't find Super/System helpful for online play - unless you play only tournaments. Many of the newer books, e.g. the Daugherty/McEvoy book for new players, are really applicable only to tournaments and have very weak cash game advice.
