Limit material.
Hey guys, I play short limit for a living and was wondering if anyone has read any good limit books that have helped improve their game. The only thing I have ever found to be helpful is of course stox's book.
Thanks!

You play for a living and you're asking us which books to buy? [/ QUOTE ] Why can't he ask that? You don't need to read every book thats written about limit poker to be a winner! If you have read stox book as well as HEPFAP and SSHE you can't expect to find any revolutionary book that will make a huge impact on your game. I'm skimming through "Weighing the Odds" right now and I think there are some good stuff in it.

Re: Limit material.
Sorry, of course he can ask that. It's just that, you see a guy's first post and he claims he makes a living playing SH and wants to know which books to read. Maybe just too late for me to be responding. I apologize to the OP.

Re: Limit material.
Ace on the river is pretty good too. It has a lot of insight into the general mindset of a winning player. It's a fun read as well.
Mathematics of poker is really good if you take the time to read and understand it.

I have read winning in tough hold'em games and of course small stakes hold'em. I have known about 2+2 but never bothered reading the forums until know. I didn't know so much information existed about SHLHE. I used to grind 2/4 and 3/6 exclusively on stars. I stopped playing for a while and just got my supernova back a couple months ago. Grinding 50/1 and 1/2 til I build back a roll again. Ill be sure to check out those other books, Thanks.

I think the rate for FPP at 0.5/1 is about 0.25 and at 1/2 it's about 0.36. We have played a lot together in those games. You seemed a bit too aggressive if that helps you.

Re: Limit material.
Maybe you should write one on how to play stars .50/1 for a living!
I have historically always played 1 table and am now trying to beat $10/20. I'm crap at multitabling and always go home a looser if I try it, it dosen't suit my game. So the answer to your question may lie in what you wish to achieve. I have literally read the whole of Amazon however SSHE, The theory of poker, Holdem for Advanced players and Stox should keep you going for a while. I am not playing pro however whenever I read a book with some new concepts(to me anyway) I tend to lose a few quid until I figure where they fit into my game, this could be a killer if you're playing 22/20 on 6 tables! Oh poker essays 1,2 and 3 are the best limit books beside Stox!
