On the subject of reading, I'm a bit of a bibliophile when it comes to poker, and the best books I've read for NL ring games have to be Ruebins "How good is your pot limit holdem". The analysis is very similar to hand analysis on this site, but it can be read on the train or at work. It's all individual hands, and principles are introduced this way, rather than the Super System layout of principle specific ideas and the likes.
A book I was a bit disappointed in was Cloutier and McEvoys "Championship Pot limit and No limit Holdem". Its very very tournamnent orientated, with very little cash game play. Dont get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, but just expected better from two great players.
Not much no limit in this book, but Ciaffonnes "Improve Your Poker" is excellent. All small essays, very very readable, and highly useful, it`s one of the better books I've bought Also, Dr Mahmoods "Science of Poker" is a bit dry, but very useful.
Those are the books I have that I'd recommend. Books I dont have, and consider a need, are Theory of Poker and Ciaffonne/Ruebins NL book. They`re next on the list.. comments?
