No Limit Hold Em Book

[theswami]

Anyone have a suggestion for a good (if not great) book on No Limit HE play?

-Hopefully written in the last 5-7 years
-Written to address ring games primarily (although a section or two on tourneys would be helpful as well)
-It would be nice if it also contained a section on Pot Limit
-I'll take a book written for any level below expert

I'm not sure how much is out there given that NL wasn't really spread often until the last year or two.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ivan....HFAP is a very good book despite the fact that it was written over a decade ago (I do have the 21st century edition but I have no idea what was added). The book is pretty much dedicated to Limit Hold Em.

So far the only two No Limit books I hear are worth reading are the Mcevoy/Cloutier book and the Ciaffone (sp?) book and even those books get mixed reviews. Frankly, I don't really give a crap about Cloutier's WSOP stories and tourney information. I just want to learn the best strategies for a garden variety NL ring game. I've been using my instincts and my results have been mixed (I think I give my opposition implied odds that are too high to call).

Anyway.....I play at Party/Empire. I have an account at Paradise but I NEVER play there anymore.

Doyle wrote the NL hold em section for his book Super System which was aimed mostly at cash play. His basic principles are rather shocking. He prefers AK to AA generally. His logic, if you don't flop to AK you lose far less as it is much easier to get away from. He also notes that if a guy has a big stack that he would want to gamble with that guy a little more as there is more to gain.

Grip it and Rip it

Swami I know for the 21st century addition the "short-handed" section was added. Not really sure what else.

You are an idiot!!! What does this REALLY have to do with the topic of this thread.

If you do not have a suggestion or constructive comments regarding a particular book..stay the **** out of my thread. To say that Skalansky players "never" win tournaments is just plain stupid. I'm willing to bet that there is at least one player who has read Sklansky who has won at least one tournament.
