Best Poker Book for No-Limit

[CheeseBeger]

I started playing poker a few months ago with some friends with small stakes, and now I play on the weekends with them. None of us are great players, but I always come out ahead. Soon I want to play some online poker for real money (small stakes) but before that I would like to improve my game. Is the Theory of Poker book considered the best for No-Limit Hold'em games?

You should read The Theory of Poker no matter what. However, for No limit you should read Pot-Limit and No-Limit poker by Ciaffone and Reuben.

As everybody knows, No-Limit is a very complicated game. As a result I would suggest that you have more than one book under your belt before you start to play. I would suggest that in addition to the two previously named books, you also read Super System by Doyle Brunson and the Sklansky advanced book.

Some people believe that Super System is outdated and that it is full of superstition. These are both true, but 1. It still contains lots of good ideas, and 2. A lot of the people you have been playing against will have already read the book.

After these two, there are countless other books that you can read in order to improve your game, but these four should give you a solid foundation to build upon.
