Best books for these games?

Well well well, i have been playin online poker for 2 years almost and i think i havent done much. Most of the profits i ever made was from bonuswhoring. My problem has always been plaing nl cash games and then the next day play limit cash games and then going back and forth which is nevr good if your not a winner. I keep telling myself that i will only play no limit cash games but the next thing i know, i sign up playing 8 sngs. So, i am finally going to stop this mess i have gotten myself into and stick with one thing.

First off, i have decided to just play limit poker b/c i dont like no limit in that i am not the kind of person that thinks beyond the 2nd level even though i only play 50NL. A lot of people say limit holdem is their bread and butter and i know everyone is different but i feel that i should play this game over no limit.

I have read small stakes holdem maybe 3 times already but am going to read it again because i forgot almost everything. I also read the limit holdem chapter in supersystem 2 by jen harman but will read it again because i forget things easily because i read NLTAP and everything in my head got mixed up if you know what i mean. Can anyone else name some other books that can help my play in limit holdem? I am going to AC/Foxwoods soon and want to just play limit games there because i feel no limit is not for me because i don't like one decision where its for all my chips.

Besides limit holdem, can anyone recommend me what books for 7 card stud, 7 card stud hi low, and omaha hi low? I feel that these are the most popular 4 limit games out there online and at the casinos and i would like to go there and show that I have some game. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Limit Hold'em: Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players and Weighing The Odds In Hold'em Poker; Winning In Tough Hold'em Games for online play

Stud: Seven Card Stud For Advanced Players

Stud8: Super System II, Hi/Lo Split Poker For Advanced Players

Omaha8: Super System II, Mike C's book (a lot of people disagree with me on this one and would say the Krieger/Tenner book instead)

Do you mean Bobby Baldwin's Chapter?

well i read the bobby baldwin chapter. does it really cover that much material? I know that people who play high stakes must have read some books that are only geared toward omaha hi low. Are any of those omaha hi low books on amazon good?

winning O/8 poker by tenner & kreiger is good for beginners.

Ray Zee's book on split pot poker for advanced players is really good.

LHE: SSHE is still great, Ed Miller's DVDs are great, Jen Harman's chapter is pretty good. Forget Baldwin's chapter. I haven't had a chance to read WITHG yet.

Stud: Seven Card Stud For Advanced Players

Stud8: Super System II is decent enough, Hi/Lo Split Poker For Advanced Players

Omaha8: Hi/Lo Split Poker For Advanced Players

How about Paul Kammen's book on Stud/8? I have read here it's "not that bad", but has anyone read the book and found misinformation in it?

I haven't read paul Kammen's book but it comes highly recommended. I intend to buy it just haven't, too many new 2+2 books to buy and read.
