Best books for NL Holdem cash games?

CopTHIS · #1 06-06-2006, 09:03 AM

It seems to me that most books are aimed mostly at tournament play so don't have much focus on cash games, especially short handed games that are typically deep. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I recommend Pot limit and No limit poker, by Reuben and Ciaffone. There is also a new book from twoplustwo that's aboout NL cash.

I would recommend using wilson software. Do a google search for it and check it out. I know its not a book but for the price its a good deal and it will pay for itself when u do start playing cash games. I started playing cash games after using it and I have been successful. My short game and heads-up play is top notch....

Greensteins book is meant to be a good read.. alot about the game mentality you should have to play cash games.. Worth a try i guess...

I've heard good things about this book, but I think it is targeted towards high stakes play. If you are like 99.9% of the poker world, you probably don't play high stakes. I'm going to wait for Miller's "Small Stakes NL Holdem" to come out.
