i am getting to the point where i buy so many books that it's getting expensive.

wondering which would help my no-limit game more: "Inside the Poker Mind" OR "Psychology of Poker".

i remember russian bear said they were both good for no-limit, but i think i want to get it down to one for now.

Holy crap, someone mentioned me in their post. I'm touched, I am truly touched. Start with Inside the Poker Mind. He uses a lot of limit hold 'em hands as examples, but the overal concepts of how to think are universal as are the concepts about emotional control, etc. Just remember, playing the player is highly important at the higher levels in NL. At the lower-levels, you have to showdown the best hand, so, although there is a little bit of level two thinking, for the most part you just have to play good starting hands, etc., etc., etc.
Thanks for making my day.

They're both good for poker as a whole.
