Top books specifically about no limit

#1 20-01-2008, 4:57 AM

I already have read Harrington on Hold'em V1 and 2, Theory of Poker by Sklansky (not specifically about NL but still very good), Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players by Sklansky and Malmuth (didn't like this one much), Super System (skipped to the last section about NL, good read). Am I missing any good books on NL?

no i think u have a pretty good library there
maybe u should read the rest of super system and diversify ur game further than holdem
ppl generally dont play the other games well so u can capitalize on that if u know the basic strategies for each game{off topic but i thought i should throw it in}

Don't forget Harrington on Holdem Volume 3. It tests you on what you learned in volumes I & II and then scores you. I just started reading it last week.

Does it give you check marks or gold stars?

It scores you and will tell you whether your DONK or PRO material.

I like the book. It has many case studies many from pro tournaments. You take the place of a certain pro and see how you would play the hand compared to how they played it. You are scored depending on whether you, call, raise, fold, etc. It's well worth the $29.95.

Yeah, on the surface it makes me look like a donk, but I thought I should after I made this post

Chat Poker and Improve Your Game

The more backlinks cardschat.com has with these relevant anchors such as "poker, forum, hold 'em" etc., the better it will rank when someone searches these terms in a major search engine. The higher the rankings, the more people click on cardschat and the bigger and better the community becomes.

So how can you help create backlinks? If you have a blog, or website, maybe include a sitewide link for cardschat.com. You could also become a member of other forums and put a link for cardschat.com in your signature. Even if we all put a link in our sigs here, we could help, as many of these threads have decent pageranks and are indexed by google.

It's all about pagerank in the major search engines. With every link we can give cardschat.com, even if it is on the site itself, we slowly help it rise in the search engine rankings. You have over 1,000 posts, that's over 1,000 backlinks. And you know those threads that you might start with like 15 pages and thousands of views, those pages will become indexed in google and will have pagerank themselves. (sidenote - backlinks originating from pages with higher pagerank mean more in the search engines eyes). I just thought I could show my support.

For tourneys: Kill Everyone

For cash games: Professinal No-Limit Hold'em

Actually those are just my 2 most recent reads. The Phil Gordon books are also good.

You should probably state if you are playing tournaments or ring games (seems like tournaments to me)-- there have been a bunch of NL ring game books out lately. Saying "What books are specifically about No-Limit" makes it sound like you are playing cash games (which is belied by your reading the HoH series). Frame your question better and you will get better answers.

WVHillbilly's recommendations above are excellent.

Here is my library thread, generally categorized. Of course reading math and theory and general strategy is going to help your game no matter what you play.
