Thanks for the replies guys. I guess my problem is that I understand the game mechanics and some basic theory, but not much. I know that poker is something that won't be learned overnight, and there is no one correct fool-proof path to riches. It seems like the books that I've either bought or gotten from the library fall into 3 categories:

1. Very basic, and spend the majority of the time talking about the mechanics of hold'em
2. Limited information on hold'em (eg. supersystem)
3. Over my head. I suspect that theory of poker falls into this, plus I'm not real big on math for the sake of math.

Now having said that, I plan to read theory of poker at some point, but right now, I guess I'm looking for a book(s) that explain some basic strategies and why they work. HoH looks like it fits this bill, is HoCG written in this same style? Are there others that are like this?

I've also read the Little Green Book, and found it interesting, but I don't know how useful it is in terms of a strategy book, since it seems to deal with a few specific situations, and doesn't have the right feel that I'm looking for.

Sorry if I'm rambling, but I have picked my way through this forum, and I haven't found any real direction on where I should be focussing to start. I feel I'm above a rank beginner, but it seems like the majority of the "what book do I need?" threads seem to be more advanced than myself with the posteers having extensive experience, and having read more books than myself.

Thanks,
