Limit material.
 

Hey guys, I play short limit for a living and was wondering if anyone has read any good limit books that have helped improve their game. The only thing I have ever found to be helpful is of course stox's book.

Thanks!

You play for a living and you're asking us which books to buy?

Oh no, Bearl discovered 2+2. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Welcome.

You play 0.5/1 Stars for a living? That's impressive.

Anyway, to be constructive:

Small Stakes Hold'em.
Theory of Poker.
Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players.
Inside the Poker Mind.
Winning in Tough Hold'em Games.
How Good is your Limit Hold'em? (1 and 2)

That should get you started.

Why can't he ask that? You don't need to read every book thats written about limit poker to be a winner!

If you have read stox book as well as HEPFAP and SSHE you can't expect to find any revolutionary book that will make a huge impact on your game. I'm skimming through "Weighing the Odds" right now and I think there are some good stuff in it.

Re: Limit material.
 

Sorry, of course he can ask that. It's just that, you see a guy's first post and he claims he makes a living playing SH and wants to know which books to read. Maybe just too late for me to be responding. I apologize to the OP.

Re: Limit material.
 

How has HEPFAP been for you all? Is it worth reading in lue of Stox's book?

Re: Limit material.
 

Ace on the river is pretty good too. It has a lot of insight into the general mindset of a winning player. It's a fun read as well.

Mathematics of poker is really good if you take the time to read and understand it.

Thanks. I have read winning in tough hold'em games and of course small stakes hold'em. I have known about 2+2 but never bothered reading the forums until know. I didn't know so much information existed about SHLHE. I used to grind 2/4 and 3/6 exclusively on stars. I stopped playing for a while and just got my supernova back a couple months ago. Grinding 50/1 and 1/2 til I build back a roll again. Ill be sure to check out those other books, Thanks.

You got nova on 0.5/1 and 1/2? That's impressive as well. I think the rate for FPP at 0.5/1 is about 0.25 and at 1/2 it's about 0.36. We have played a lot together in those games. You seemed a bit too aggressive if that helps you.

Re: Limit material.
 

Maybe you should write one on how to play stars .50/1 for a living!

I have historically always played 1 table and am now trying to beat $10/20. I'm crap at multitabling and always go home a looser if I try it, it dosen't suit my game.

So the answer to your question may lie in what you wish to achieve.

I have literally read the whole of Amazon however SSHE, The theory of poker, Holdem for Advanced players and Stox should keep you going for a while.

I am not playing pro however whenever I read a book with some new concepts(to me anyway) I tend to lose a few quid until I figure where they fit into my game, this could be a killer if you're playing 22/20 on 6 tables!

Oh poker essays 1,2 and 3 are the best limit books beside Stox!
