I consider myself a decent player, but I wanted to know your thoughts on the best book for cash games for an experienced hold-em player.

I've searched the threads and see a lot of recommendations for "beginner". I want something to take it to another level.

Limit or NL?

For NL, I liked NLHE: Theory & Practice. Though I didn't consider myself an overly experienced player when I read it back in June/July. Since then, I've been running over 5 BB/100 online.

there isnt really a good book out there for NL cash games. NL low limit cash games are a new thing in poker and in my opinion there is no good book to learn from. the thing that taught me the most aboiut NL is liveatthebike.com. great learning tool.

Thanks. In addition to getting an education from Ed via his books, I'm now addicted to reading his wife's blog. I love opinionated women.

agreed. like cloutier, this book (the nl section anyhow) is mostly good for historical record, and should be taken with a monumental grain of salt.
