    Default Reading David Slansky's Small Stakes Hold 'em

    It stated the book was written in limit hold 'em. Is it still a good read for nolimit hold'em?

    It's a limit hold em book so will suit limit rather than no limit. See the tools of poker forum for more information on poker books.

    Really: The only parts of SSH that are valuable to you are the first two chapters, preflop concepts and gambling concepts. there are assumptions made in the rest of the book that apply at limit that simply don't apply to most no limit games.

    For the love of god, be very careful about evaluating "partial outs" and the "large pot vs small pot" distinctions. Because the definition of a large pot is dependant upon the fact that the bet in comparison to the pot is very small, which is very rarely the case in No Limit.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
