I'm mainly playing cash games these days. Which one of his books should I go for first, 'Improve your poker' or 'Pot Limit and No Limit poker'?

For limit HE you only need the former for no limit you need both.

I only play No Limit (should've put that in the original post).

Improve Your Poker is probably one of my favorite poker books ever. Well worth your time.

Pot Limit and No Limit is good, but these days other poker books are better.

Bob was suppose to be coming out with a new NL hold'em cash game book, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Read some articles whe wrote a while back and just remember thinking his advice and the way he explained things was excellent.

I really like PL&NLP and I think it's still relevant even if only a small part of the book covers NLHE.

I think IYP is great. I have too many poker books, and it's one of my favorites. I'd get that one.

One thing to know re: IYP is that Ciaffone is far tighter early in hands than some believe is strategically optimal.

Improve your poker is great. All Ciaffones books are very good though and well read-worthy, best poker authour imo.
