Default I have 4 books, Looking for Number 5...

I own (and have read, in order):
HOH 1
HOH 2
SSHE (Miller, Sklansky, Malmuth)
NLHE Theory and Practice


I'm looking to be as well-rounded as I can, tourney and cash games. I play online only, PL and NLHE. I'm looking for recommendations on a 5th book that would help me become a more "complete" player and maybe fill in some of the gaps that the above 4 either do not cover, or do not cover in enough depth. Any input would be greatly appreciated, especially from the more experienced online players. Thanks in advance.

The obvious I guess...HOH 3?

I also thought Kill Phil was a fun read and can help when you get short-stacked in tournaments.

The Theory of Poker by Sklansky is the obvious choice here.

My vote is definitely

"Theory of Poker" by Slanksy.

Exclusing the Ciafone book, I own and have read every other book suggested, TOP was clearly the most helpful for me. I am still blown away by his thoughts on bluffing. It completely changed how I viewed several aspects of poker.

Just my 2 cents,

Leo
