Your top three poker book picks?

[The_Outlaw]

I'm looking into expanding my limited poker knowledge.
What are the top 3 poker books that are an absolute must have for no limit cash games in your opinions?

[slainempire]

The Poker Tournament Formula(Arnold Snyder)
Caro's Most Profitable Hold 'Em Advice(Mike Caro)
Tournament Poker For Advanced Players(David Sklansky)

All three have improved my game greatly, although Sklansky's work isn't the most fun thing to read.

he asked for cash game, and 2/3 of those books are tournament books. they even say tournament in their titles!

professional no limit (flynn/mehta)
nlhe theory and practice (sklansky/miller)
i don't think there is a good third book (maybe super system?)

nlhe cash is woefully underdone in the literature imo. the best stuff you can get isn't in books, it's in the forums and in the training sites.

.

That was my mistake.
I did not originally specify 'cash games' until after I edited the original question.
Sorry.

I think Harrington on Holdem has been previously mentioned.

^^This.

If you haven't read Theory of Poker, that's a must read for any player, imo.

QFT. I'd also add Harrington on Cash (haven't read it, but hear it's decent).

I can't read Sklansky books. His werdz is teh hard for me.

Seriously. It's like reading a math book written by a person without writing skillz.

The 2 plus 2 forums by far.

Sorry.

Its all in the good, most of my books are geared toward tournament play for sure. For some good refreshers I recommend How To Beat Low-Limit Poker by Shane Smith. I like to re-review alot of stuff just to keep my ego in check and also so I don't develop bad habits and keep the fundamentals there. I don't really play many cash games but I really like to when I get the chance so maybe I will pick up some more good reading soon.
