Default I need a good book on betting in NL

Hello all,

I'm a successful limit player, but a really shoddy no limit one. I consider myself a decent hand reader, and I have the basics of tight aggressive play down.

My problem in NL is that I really have no idea what sorts of bets I should be making at various stages of a hand. I tend to just raise somewhat randomly and rarely fully consider the odds I am giving my opponents when making my bets. Things like making a 4x BB raise consistently PF so people cannot put you on a hand I have only found out from this forum. I feel like I am missing an enormous amount of information on NL. I have read most of the major poker books, but they are predominantly limit focused.

Can anyone recommend a book that has a detailed, lengthy discussion of the mathematics and betting of NL specifically?

Thanks.

Order off of Conjeco. I just ordered SSHE, in Toronto there's absolutely nowhere to find anything. At all. Chapters carries like two books, HPFAP and SS, the rest are trash. Ordering online seems like the best bet for us Canadians.

reuben's books are a good place to start, although the advice they give is somewhat weak-tight, imo.

Is Doyle's advice in Supersystem any good still? - I know the Limit is out of date, but I'd imagine the NL is still good.

If not anymore, maybe the stuff in SS2 will be better...

Oh eff off. Stop board stalking me, moron.

And those "well-respected" posters were a load of idiots who couldn't even understand basic PF strategy.
