Best Books For A Beginner With Aspirations?

[gedanken]

TOP, PNL, NLT&P, and a lot of the canonical texts are written with a relatively high level of play in mind. It's not exactly irrelevant for micro stakes no-limit, but definitely to be taken with a grain of salt.

Small Stakes Holdem isn't even about no-limit, but I thought it was an excellent guide for loose small-stakes games. No matter what you read, you'll have to adapt the concepts to the game you're playing. SSHE is at least as good a guide as the NL texts, if you'll be playing micros.

HOH is also thoroughly excellent (with the non-micro caveat again).

Finally, do a 2+2 search for everything Pokey has written. That's by far the best info I've seen for a micro no-limit player. Really, the uNL forum is unmatched by the print options, imo.

All the chapters from the books that discuss ABC poker are also relevent for the microstakes.

Thanks for the replies.
Gedanken you're right some of the Pooh-Bah type posts I've read on here are brilliant and have given me plenty of food for thought.
Raze, nice post, thats another one for my favourites.

So I've settled on:

Small Stakes HoldEm
Theory of Poker
No Limit HoldEm Theory and Practice
Professional No Limit Vol 1
Harrington on HoldEm Vol & 2

I was also thinking of getting Your Worst Poker Enemy and The Psychology of Poker by Alan N. Schoonmaker. It sounds like these might deal with some of my personal stumbling blocks, Has anyone read them? Are they any good?
