Chips: 133 | | | What is the "best" book for cash game strategy I realize that this question is subject to personal opinion but am curious because for tournament play the general consensus leads to the harrington books and some of the slanksy books. Not sure what are the "best" books for cash play though.
Thanks guys. |

This assumes you're talking about NLHE cash games. |

I'm mostly interested in the low stakes cash game strategies at this point. hopefully in the future i can "graduate" to the higher stakes tables. |

I thought NL Holdem: Theory & Practice was good also.
When you say cash games, is it just HE or other games? For different games, you'll get different answers. |

Chips: 1,214 | | | Re: What is the "best" book for cash game strategy I guess you are just talking about holdem, but if you are looking for a great book to just sort of get you going as to what to think about at the table, Sklanskys Theory of Poker is pretty damn good. It was the first book I read and for dealers choice night, it made all the difference in the world. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
