I haven't read "No Limit Hold 'em: T & P" but was a big fan of "Small Stakes Hold 'em." If you're looking for advice on stricly small stakes/low limit hold 'em, you'll love "Small Stakes Hold 'em." If you're looking for more general guidance on No Limit, try the first book you list.
And if you haven't read Slansky's "The Theory of Poker" you should add that to the list. Definitely a math-heavy read, but essential. Quote: |

Definitely get and read SSHE. It's worth it even if you've only played NL to this point. The book is fantastic. I am working on the other one right now, I'm hoping to play more NL soon. |

step one: figure out which game you want to study.
step two: read that book.
they're both fine books. nlhetp is better, imo, b/c sshe isn't as functional as you'd like for online play. |

SSHE is one of the main reasons I was a 3BB/100 winner at .5/1. It is a great book for loose tables and gives a lot of great fundamentals for limit play. There are adjustments you need to make for tighter games as you move up, but SSHE is still a great book to learn from.

Every no-limit player should have 'Theory and Practice' on his shelf. It's awesome! |

Thanks for the replies...
In our home games we play No Limit.
Right now I have Harrington Vol 1 and Phil Gordon's Little Green Book. How would 'Theory and Practice' compare to the two? |
