no limit and pot limit poker by ciaffone and reuben is decent.

Tournaments or cash games?

No Limit & Pot Limit by Ciaffone
Little Green & Little Blue by Gordon

The rest of your reading list will be determined by your choice of tournaments or cash games.

Currently I prefer cash games but if there's good tourney books that I'm missing I'd like to read those too.

Jordie I mean what other books do you guys recommend.

None currently published, but PLN by Flynn and Metha might be good.

Yeah, so far as internet cash game books there really aren't any. And I highly recommend specialising in either cash games or tournaments. At least just starting out.

Professional No Limit is due out the end of this month. We all have high hopes for it, and from the snipits and hints I've seen here & there I can't wait.

If you regularly play B&M, there are 1-2 cash game books I might recommend.

Little Green & Little Blue by Gordon

I liked Green a lot, and had high hopes for Blue. It didn't provide the same helpful tips - most of it just stories with good, helpful analysis pretty thin.

I'd skip this one for now and get to something else first.

You're kind of right. I read Blue and shelved it. Grunching an hour or so in the appropriate 2+2 sub-forum is about as helpful as reading LBB. But I re-read Little Green every 6-9 months or so.
