Best no-limit hold'em cashgame book?

I'm a prety experienced .10/.25 (short handed) and .25/.50 (full ring) no-limit hold'em cashgame player and doing good online. I've only read Hold'em poker for advanced players by Sklansky. Even though I'm doing quite alright on the theory behind poker, I feel like I need to eduacate me some more to be comfortable playing higher.

I know you need to read Supersystem, Theory of poker and Harrington on hold'em, but I'm looking for a good book primarily on no-limit hold'em cashgames. I'm considering No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice by Sklansky and Ed Miller at the moment. Is this the best choice for me right now? Advice needed.

Professional No Limit Hold'EM: Vol. 1, by Matt FLynn Sunny Mehta & Ed Miller.

This book imo is probably the best for what you are looking for.

Re: Best no-limit hold'em cashgame book?

The best book I've read has to be Sklansky's No Limit Hold 'em Theory and Practice. I haven't read Professional No Limit Hold 'em, but maybe I'll check that one out.

Jojo, I am really tempted to get Harrington's cash series books.

I have read his tourney series, and it really helped my game.

It's a stupid question, as obv there are a lot of differences, but how many similarities does Harrington on cash, share with his tourney series?

yeah, but i read them very fast. i'm going back through them now, bit by bit, while reading other stuff.

there's some stuff that's...weird. he's not really up on the latest in the game, i'd say. and so there could conceivably be a MUCH stronger book in the next few years. the strength of these volumes is the same as the strength of HOH. well written, well explicated, quite thorough and clear, lots of examples, et cetera.

what it's NOT: cutting edge, extrardinarily sophisticated, et cetera.

Just curious if you have any examples?

I can't wait to get to read them. They are sitting on my shelf waiting for the worst 2 months of my work to be done. When mid-June gets here, I'll be all over these.
