Default Re: Recommend my next NL cash game book

1. Ciaffone's PL/NL Book

people love ciaffone's book, but there are huge sections on non-hold'em which i have to admit i found a pain.. vague rumours he has another coming out.

largay's book is good... enjoying it more over time, although i find some of it inconsistent.

russell fox book is fairly simple and really only for extreme capped games. his style is basically power poker with premium hands. some good post-flop stuff. but not much on drawing cheaply (i'd argue that drawing to a set of 6's is pretty obvious, not much commentary needed).

basically, ciaffone is for deep, deep stacked (and others), largay is medium stack and fox is shorter stack. they're all decent but not indispensible either.... if ciaffone was more hold-em, it would be an amazing book.
