Where to go from here?
I have been playing live poker for about 7 months now. I'm still terrible. I play $3/$6 limit cash games and consistently lose $60 to $100 a session. I do well in the $10 single table tourneys but have made only 1 final table in the $30 to $60 140-150 player tourneys in about 20 something attemps. I do, however, consistanly finsh in the top half of the field in the MTTs.
I have scanned through four books. My question is which one should I focus on first? The four books I currently own: <ul type="square">[*]Caro's Book of Poker Tells[*]Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big With Expert Play by Ed Miller[*]The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky[*]Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic Play[/list] Or is there another one I should start with? |

Re: Where to go from here?
You're a live player, so Small Stakes Hold 'em is by far the best place to start. 3/6 live games are exactly what the book is about.

Re: Where to go from here?
first you should read sshe then the top... this is an exellent book about the theory thatīs behind all of the poker games...
if you play 3/6 limit I wouldnīt play tourney for a 30 dollar buy in... chances are you are not good enough |

Re: Where to go from here?
might want to start with the Miller book, TOP and HOH are brilliant, but you may need a basic foundation before being able to apply them. Caro's book is good, but if that's the first book you read you will probably put an over-emphasis on reading tells.

SSHE is perfect for 3/6 live games, but it is designed for cash games, not tournaments. I suggest reading it and playing some cash games.

Play online. You will play far more hands and as a result learn much more quickly.
Harrigton volume 1 & 2 are very good books to begin with even on cash game (vol. 1). When you have a good understanding of them buy "No Limit Holdem theory and practice" by Sklansky and Miller. And I never read anything better since then. |
