Default Sklansky\'s Hold\'em Poker for Advanced Players

Hi Everyone,
I'm actually new to this site so it's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm a not exactly a new poker player but I have studied it's theory both psychologically and mathematically while I was in high school (is in college now at UCSD). However, only recently have I picked up a book to read for Poker. David Sklansky's The Theory of Poker. A lot of the topics were insightful because it was easy to understand for I had theorized about it beforehand. However, I wanted to move on to a much more advanced book. I normally play NL hold'em, usually at small/medium stakes, and SNG's, and small stakes MTT (Which is almost like everything NL haha). I heard that this book was solely for limit hold'em. Would this book be not that useful for me? Or should I go straight to Harrington's 1-2, or Super System, or Sklansky's NLH Theory and Practice, or Professional NLH Vol. 1.

I had heard good reviews for this book, but I couldn't find anything about it through all these pages.
It would be great if anyone could help.

Thank You!
Z

Welcome!

HPFAP (Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players) is a limit hold'em book. It will not be of much use to you. The Harrington series would be a great choice.

sorry for double posting. I figured I could just shove my question in this thread that I just made.
But I really want to improve my NL cash game... game/skills. What books would you prefer and in any order?

I was thinking more like, (since I have foundation)starting with ToP, [insert books here] , NLHE Theory and Practice.
Any ideas about this one?
Thanks! ^__^
