    Default Books to pickup for NL poker?

    I play low stakes No limit holdem at home games (.10 .20 blinds) and 25$ NL at Pokerstars. What are some good books I can pick up for these stakes? I have a good understanding of poker theory but i haven't gone through a book yet. Any recommendations?

    I'm currently leaning toward Theory of Poker and Small Stakes Holdem. I read somewhere Small Stakes Holdem (Ed Miller) Is geared more toward limit. Should i just get Theory of Poker? Any other books I should add to my collection?

    ToP is good but you should know it's not NL focused, it's more general. Still a great read for any player.

    I'd pick up SS2, but I'll admit to being a Doyle fanboy.

    Dan harringtons book is really good.(the first chapter,chapter 2 should be good aswell normally)

    Yeah, I'm a Dan fanboy as well but his books are all tourney focused.

    u coudl play ring like level one of a PP SNG and you could make money. Or so i hear. I think HoH 1 would work fine for ring games.

    Great read, great ideas, but could get you into a lot of trouble at smaller stakes with a low bankroll.

    Yeah I don't recommend you try and play Doyle style at low limits as a newb, but it's important to understand the mind set.
