Best Book or reference for no limit, $1/$2 cash casino game

LockDown · #1 08-03-2006, 02:22 PM

There's so much stuff on tournaments. I wondered what everyone here would suggest for a good book or reference for the $1/$2 no limit casino cash game.

Thanks!

No Limit Theory and Practice
Theory of Poker
Gordon's Little Green Book (It is a quick easy read)

Agreed with 4_2 - Especially on Little Green Book. It's really easy to read, and I definitely think it's an underrated book.

I hope you get a commission. I saw him heading out of the expo hall in Vegas. Couldn't get a picture.

Damnit - I bet that conversation would have been hilarious. Something involving a drunken St. Patrick's Day escapade...

If you already have basic ideas about the games such us poisiton, odds, and outs, I suggest you just go and sit down play. Live SSNL casino cash games are usually very loose and sometimes very table-dependent. Your job is to spot bad players and use your position to play against them.

I love the Little Green Book. If you haven't read Theory of Poker, definitely read that.

I also like Pot-Limit and No-limit Poker by Bob Ciaffone and Stewart Reuben. It's very different and makes you think a lot.

What's the difference between NLTAP and the Green book?

I just got Little Green Book yesterday and I like it alot.

Is playing super tight the best way to do it or does mixing it up with raises in late positions with Q-J suited help disguise my later hands?

NLTAP requires more studying. The concepts are more advanced and it is definitely a more theory-ish book.

Green book is an easier read. It is "dumbed down" for lack of a better phrase. You can read that and just breeze through the book understanding the material easily.

Just picture having a conversation with Sklansky vs. having a conversation with Phil Gordon as he is on Celebrity Poker. That's the difference.
