I have read enough Poker Books from a variety of publishers/authors to realize I can't go wrong with buying 2+2 books.
I have SSH and Harrington on Hold 'em. I play limit but picked up Harrington's book just out of curiosity and thought it would be an excellent book should I ever venture into the world of NL Tournament play.
I'm wondering if someone who has an extensive 2+2 library would provide a list of 2+2 books in order of importance how they apply to online poker.
I've been struggling between HEFAP and Sklansky's much smaller and older, yet updated "Hold 'em Poker." HEFAP would be interesting I'm sure, but I'm not yet playing at a level high enough to warrant using the advanced strategies that it sounds this book contains.
The older hold 'em book is much smaller but quite expensive for no more text than what it contains. If I am quite familiar with SSH, am I wasting money by purchasing this?
Has anyone read the following and where would they belong in order of importance in a 2+2 library:
1. Poker Gaming and Life.
2. Getting the Best of It
3. Sklansky on Poker
Any information on other good 2+2 books would also be appreciated.
I intentionally left out TOP. From what it sounds (though I do not have it myself) this is a must have in any poker library. |

Don't worry about HEFAP yet. Read SSH again. Hold em poker is very basic.
I am curious to know if anyone has read Middle limit poker. I am finally moving into 10/20 and 20/40 games and looking into getting it.
I haven't read the 3 books you mention but I would reccomend Super System 2 if you don't have it yet. |

| HEFAP is more geared towards games where players fold and it's sometimes a contest for the blinds. |
