Iam looking to buy the perfect Poker Strategy book that fits my style of play. I play tight/aggresive, very conservative pre-flop. What do you recomend as the best Poker Strategy book out there that will help my style of play?
I mostly play NL Holdem by the way. |

Phil Hellmuth's "Play Poker like the Pro's" stress the importance of playing tight before the flop and to play agressive whenever you do play a hand.
Also, although it is not on NLH specifically, Skalansky's "Theory of Poker" is a great book to pick up  . |

Don't bother, the paper is too course to use as toilet paper.
It's really simple to make a fish's game several times better.
"Stop playing so many hands, bet/raise/fold more and call less." There, now you can send me $40.00 for the advise that will turn your game around. |

| Yeah, Theory of Poker is a great read for any poker player. I'm about 2/3 of the way though it right now. It's true that it's not NLHE specific (and in fact contains much advice that's more applicable to limit games) but none the less it is an excellent read. |
