Which book is better for learning cash games?
Harrington on Cash Games or Professional No limit hold'em
I'm currently finishing the promotion on 2+2 in which after I finish I get 5 books. 2 from class A, and 3 from class B.
So I can either choose both Harrington on cash game or Professional NLH + 1 more book from class A.
I play on micros right now and am fammiliar with the concepts of playing TAG poker. I'm a winning player on stakes that I play, but would like to improve my game as much as I can. I don't need a book that has the "general advice" like 50 pages on tight is right and play agro. I already have Brunson's Super System. I play full ring and 6-max, depending on my mood and how I run.
Also for tier B books, which would you recommend I choose, on poker there are these available:
Sklansky on Poker
Inside the poker mind by John Feeney
Poker essays volume 1 by Mason Malmuth
Poker essays volume 2 by Mason Malmuth
Poker essays volume 3 by Mason Malmuth
Poker, gaming and life by Aklansky
Poker Tournament Strategies
Poker Farce and Poker Truth
Getting started in Hold'em by Ed Miller
Thanks

i personally found PNLHE more helpful than harrington on cash games. although they are similar in many ways and i read PNLHE first so that could be why. i just found that harrington sort of employed a super systems style "how to play this hand', whereas PNLHE takes a broader discussion of important, relevant concepts and helps you learn to apply them.

I dont see No Limit Hold'Em Theory and Practise listed there. I'd buy it ahead of both of those books.

There are certain pdfs on net...
Cash game related books I can choose are those 2. But considering people are recommending PNLHE and I can choose 1 more book, I guess I've made my choice.
Thanks everyone!
