Re: A Question for Limit Hold\'em Players
I'd cut down on your reading list a bit and read these books in the following order:
Theory:
1. Small Stakes Hold'em
2. Weighing the Odds
3. Winning in Tough Hold'em Games
Practice:
1. Real Poker II: The Play of Hands
2. How Good is Your Limit Hold'em?
All of the above books are outstanding IMHO.
Forget 'Middle Limit Hold'em' which time has passed by. It teaches weak tight strategies that will get you robbed deaf, dumb and blind by the much more aggressive play in today's internet games.
At the risk of getting burned at the 2+2 stake I would suggest there is no point in reading 'HPFAP' as well as 'Weighing the Odds'. HPFAP is still a very good book, but Yao's book covers the same ground in more detail and has a clearer writing style. Even a critic as tough as Mason gave 'Weighing the Odds' 8.5/10.
