Re: Reading list
[ QUOTE ]
The Harrington books aren't set up for cash game play so why would you recommend it? [/ QUOTE ] I assume you haven't read it. HoH 1 contains a lot of information that applies just as well to cash games as it does to tourneys. For a novice NLHE cash player I think it's actually a better book than PNL because it's more accessible to less sophisticated players, and it contains a lot of practical examples as opposed to something like NLHE:TAP. It also has a lot more depth than Little Green Book.

Re: Reading list
You assume I haven't read it... How else would I know a good majority of the book based for tourney play ? I don't just read book covers and assume I've read the book. Another good recommendation is Theory of poker, its as complete as HoH and serves cash game as well as tourney players alike.

I assumed you hadn't read it because most people who have generally agree that the bulk of material applies very well to cash games despite it being aimed at tournaments.

Re: Reading list
Harrington, repeatedly - easy to read books but you really need to let this stuff sink in
Theory of Poker, helpful for tourneys or cash I recently picked up the Sit n Go strategy book by Collin Moshman. I don't have a strong opinion on it either way yet but it is probably worth reading if you plan on playing sit n go's. It contains some useful info that Harrington does not.

Re: Reading list

My point was people shouldn't read HoH for cash game advice alone. [/ QUOTE ] Then I disagree with your point, because the first Harrington is an excellent NLHE fundamentals book regardless of format, especially for intermediate players. If you really insist on arguing further, please point out how many concepts and chapters you think don't apply to cash games. My copy here only has about 10% content that wouldn't apply to ring game play just as well as SNG/MTT play.
