Hey

I wonder what book is suitable for my situation. I consider myself as a player with basic skills. I know "everything depends" in poker, starting book selection probably too

Well, I have basic understanding of such a concepts as:

- starting hand selection (what is good and what is thrash )
- value of position
- pot odds, why bet the pot with semi-strong hand (TPTK.eg)
- deception, when to slowplay a strong nondrawing hand and when it's better to put protection bets (flush, str8 danger on board etc.)
- BR management, variance, EV, why proper roll is important (risk of ruin)
- aggression, betting unmade hands, continuation bets, semibluffing, buying the pot, representing the flop (although it has a limited usage on low stakes I guess)

I gathered some of free knowledge available on the FTR. This knowledge and practice (and maybe some luck?) was enough to clear bonus and turn my initial $30 to $370 on $10NL tables.

Now, I want to bring the order into my chaotic pieces of random information and get the solid fundamentals of poker.

I have "Skalnsky's Holdem for Advanced Players" but its limit book, maybe something I'll learn in future in order to playin casinos and checkraising stupid tourists , but now I'm 100% into online lowstakes no-limit.

What book is most suitable for me, then?
- Sklansky's "Theory of Poker"
- Brunson's "Super System" 1/2?
- Ciaffone's "PL and NL Poker"
- other?

Cash games, low stakes, no-limit Hold'em. If I find something about 5c draw it would be nice too.
