Default Good NL book.

Hi, I'm going on a road trip with some friends and I want to purchase a good NL book to read. I'm gona be away from poker and computers for about a week but I want to keep learning. Thanks for your input.

I prefer Helmuth's "Play Poker Like the Pros" book on NL HE as well as other games. It is a very interesting read and a very good way to relax and throw away leisure time while not havig to think much. But most of all i recommend it because compared to most books I have read, this one really made me laugh. Buy something 2+2 is the best advice i can give (HOH1 and 2 and fantastic reads if MTT's are an interest to you).

U guyz hay8n top10 hands? I saved the receipt and returned the book.

Anyway, why would you want to learn about poker on the road? I don't know if HOH is the best book to read before going to bed. Pick up a narrative like Poker Nation or The Biggest Game in Town.

I bought Schoonmaker's Psych book this weekend. Dare I say this book is a must read for no limit. Terrific [censored] book. 4 stars, two thumbs up, etc.

honestly after I read both HoH's and logged 25K hands I haven't found any book that helps me even 5% as much as 2+2.
