Re: Whats a good NLHE book for low stakes online play?
[ QUOTE ]
I've read through Largay's book, but don't really think its suited for online play. Maybe i missed something, but a lot of it seems to focus on becoming sort of a table captain and the social aspect of poker. It's a good book for a blueprint to beat $1/$2 at the local casino, but PNL and NLH:TAP seem like better choices for beating online poker.

Interestingly enough, PNL came under fire here specifically because of its lack of applicibility to online games.
Now that isn't true - PNL is applicable to all games. What those people were whining about was the fact that they couldn't achieve the SPRs they wanted with TPTK and still have the best hand. But that is not a criticism of PNL, since PNL never promised they could do that.
The basic point is, online play in general is tighter and tougher for each particular limit than live play is. But that is another matter.
I agree Largay's book is mistitled, and it is actually geared at
1) cash play
2) live play
3) lower limit play
4) full table play
Far from the "NL Complete Course" it claims to be. Having said that, it does address many of those issues fairly well.
No one book is going to do it all. Largay's book is worthwhile reading though.
