Let me tell you something guys and I will start by telling you that i dident read noting until this year but i play since 2013 online poker. Back then i was the lamest online player ever; had no strategy, did huge fail hero calls and so on. But i dident give up and instead i just keep playin. I played more than 30k hands probably on all the poker interfaces that know and i can tell you that my job now is poker. So for me practicin is the key of succes and trust me somehow if u will choose the hard way like i did, you will get your own basic set of rules wich in my case was very appropiate with the ones u find in the books. Dont forget the people that wrote the poker books they gained their experience in the same manner so if someone can we should too, but shortcuts are always tempting

Any suggestions on books that'll help me develop into a better 1/2 no limit player ? I have like 4 books that are pretty well known but they don't have a lot of information based on strictly Texas hold 'em no limit ( preferably low stakes 1-2 )

Dan Harrington came out with Cash Game books a few years ago. I haven't read those, but his Harrington on Hold 'Em series was some of the most helpful books I ever read for tournament play.

Mike, I love Harrington on Cash. Once you have read these. You can and will make any adjustments based on your game theory. These have added 100 Bigs to my play each week. Anytime you can average a few buy in's per week. I recommend doing so!
His cash game books will do that for an average reader!

Awesome. I just never got around to checking them out. Tournament books from him were definitely more helpful than anything I've ever read for MTT play. Harrington never had the reputation as a top tier cash player (especially in relation to his tournament achievements), but I've only heard good things about cash series. Putting on my reading list for 2017!
