Hello everyone, im new to poker and would love to learn how to play cash games. Was hoping to get recommendations on good cash game books to read. Any help is very much appreciated.

In order to better make recommendations, it would be helpful to know what game, and stakes you play and would like literature for.

i'll probably start at the micro Holdem no-limit stakes online first to try and build a bankroll, and gradually move up when I feel i can beat that limit.

There are some much anticipated cash game books in the works now with Dan Harrington and 2+2. In the mean time I suggest reading this and all the links found within. I will help your game a great deal.

I've been anxiously awaiting the first of this supposed series since I first heard about it. Do we have any kind of ETA at all yet? TIA for any info.

IT was first slated for before Christmas, however I think it's been pushed back to Feb if I remember correctly

Ace on the River by Barry Greenstein is the best book on cash game poker in my opinion.

Oh, I loved Greenstein's book. It was one of my favorite reads; I start and finished it the same day. To me, though, it was more a book about the poker lifestyle than a how-to book. Granted, there were some great instructional chapters, but it was almost more of a poker autobiography...a very well-written poker autobiography.
