Which limit holdem book should I pick?

[fxrenegade]

Hi, Just wondering which book I should pick up for a relatively new player. Internet Texas Hold 'em or Small stakes Hold 'em? I have the basics in my head, Pot odds, outs, starting hands, position, implied odds... etc. I've more experience at NL, but would like to start on limit.

I have not read ITHE, but SSHE is a gem of a book. It will definitely help improve your limit game. You should also have Theory of Poker and have read it several times through, as that is the best poker book by far.

I'd def go with Small Stakes Hold 'em if you have some LHE experience. Great book. ToP also is also very good as sweetjazz said.

Also, otis lies.

Winning Low Limit Holdem by Jones or Holdem Excellence by Kreiger. Then move on to SSHE.

A review of the basics never hurts.

SSHM.

ITHM is a more dense read, although it is a solid book. It leans heavily on principles already set down in SSHM.

I do have LHE experience, but it's at the .05/.1 at Party when I was clearing my bonus. Funnily though, there are some who recommend ITHE over SSHE and vice versa, alright, I'll probably buy these two books anyway and get Lee jone's too.

thanks for the tip. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

SSHE is generally for Limit, but you can still apply the concepts in the book. I'd say it is a great starting book that will lay down a good fundamental base.

After that, I'd say HOH1. Read it like 3x or more... It's a tourney book, but most of the concepts and strategy rolls over to cash games.

He was asking for limit.
