Im going to take the rest of the week off playing my usual 3-4 hours a day on stars SNG's to adjust to my new job but would like to read some E-Books.
Which will help my cash game the most?
This is what i have to choose from
No Limit Hold 'em Theory and Practice (David Sklansky, Ed Miller)
Small Stakes Hold'em (Ed Miller, David Sklansky & Mason Malmuth)
Internet Texas Hold'em Winning Strategies From An Internet Pro (Matthew Hilger)
Ace On The River (Barry Greenstein)
Hold'em Poker For Advanced Players (David Sklansky & Mason Malmuth)
Playing Texas Hold'em Online - The Professional's Guide (A.J. Mills)
The Theory of Poker (Seventh printing, Complete) (David Sklansky)
I actually have a lot more to choose from but these are the only ones that look any good. Already read the Supersytems (NLHE , OMAHA chapters and partys of the limit and razz chapters) The HOH series.
I plan on playing a majority of my cash games at the casino but i want to definitly dabble around online first. I've never played NLHE live (as in casino , plenty of home games) and i think a few months of online experience will definitly help my game. Will probally play 10NL or 25NL to start.
Suggestions?

Yeah those 2 have been on my to read list for awhile. I've read bits and pieces of both but definitly need to go a little slower and read them in entirly.
I THOUGHT i seen a few people on 2p2 say Internet Texas Hold'em Winning Strategies From An Internet Pro (Matthew Hilger) was a good one too though.

Yeah HOH was for MTT , and SNG's i guess. It did really help with my MTT game although i havn't played but just freeroll mtt but continusly cashed in the carbon poker freerolls. I guess that's why i have faith that books can help your poker game. Actually i just got my SNG Strategy book in the mail last friday and read it already but will definitly be re reading it in the future
Also i have 3 books i picked up at the library a few weeks ago but havnt even looked at.
A winner's guide by Andy Nelson
How To Play Winning Poker by avery cardoza
and
The complete Idiots guide to poker.
I skimmed them and they all seem very basic. I think i'll to reading the Sklansky Ebooks though.

i learned more from Ace on the River than any other book.
ToP 2nd and HOH a distance behind. NLT&P is of limited utility... it's main contribution to the holdem world is 3-betting with garbage

2 + 2 has a new book out: Sit 'n Go Strategy by Collin Moshman. Very good. Has lots of practice hands to think about in every chapter. It's specifically geared to SnG's, and discusses differences between lower buyin ($5-11) and higher ones ($60-100), how that affects your strategy. I read that and HOH and learned a TON about SnG's.

Wouldn't say so. Most of it is geared towards midstakes and higher obv, but you can learn a lot from it as a microdonk as well, especially about bet sizing. I'd definitely recommend it, as well as peeking into ToP every once in a while.

Ace on the river is a weird book, I liked it a lot but it is more of a philosophical discussion, general stuff then concepts and strategy discussion.
I would read TOP, I think it is a must

I finished NLH T&P today. It was good. Makes me want to start playing FR Cash. But i rather wait until i have enough to deposit so i wont be playing micro micro (.01/.02 and .02/.05).
I've already read HOH 1 and 2 and most of 3.
I've read and listened to ace on the river (audio book)
I've read Colin Moshmans SNG strategry twice (great book)....
I've read bits and pieces of TOP but i think that will be the next one i read in full.
NLH T&P will definitly have to be re-read someday.
Will probally order a book with my FPP on stars that i dont have on PDF already.
I really wanna play FR Cash but not necessarly online. I hate the thought that at the .25/.50 level the games will be tougher than a live $2/$5 game.
Also i enjoy going to the casino and the atmosphere and the hot waitressess and the drunk spewers but still have yet to play anything but limit when there (dont want to be playing with scared money)
Guess ill stick to the .25/.50 NL home games once a week for now.
Maybe ill give the micro-stakes a shot though this weekend i dont know.

When I got tired of SNGs a little while back I played some FR cash games, 4-tabling 25NL then 50NL. On the sites that I played (Stars and FT) the games were sosososososo soft. Maybe I ran hot but my winrate was >6 PTBB/100 over about 20K hands and I suck at deepstacked games because I've played so many SNGs.
Basically you get these idiots who pay off your TPTK or set with TPNK or middle pair, chase draws WAAAAY against the odds, or come over all weak/tight postflop and continually fold to your c-bets

I read many books as well, if you have not read these I would recommend 'The Poker Tournment Formula by Arnold Synder this is an excellent book especially if you are playing tounaments some don't like the strategies introduced but I found it to be genius. Like many other things you have to think outside the box, opening you mind to new strategies is no different.
thanks
