Searching for a good cash game book

[elpoulpo]

Hello,

I've read Cadillac poker and "the harringtons on hold 'em" but could someone indicate me a good Cash game poker book? I'm unable to found one .

Are the harrington on cash game also good?

Thanks

If you`re looking to play in an actual game as opposed to playing online , A must read is CARO`S BOOK OF TELLS , if you`re playing average players it really does work , Ok its not about strategy but we give SO much away with body language & the tips & tricks in this book are easy to understand & learn, Unfortunately its no good at all for online play

They are supposed to be, though also readressing some topics of the 3 volumes on tournament play.

Following are a few books and a quick synopsis of each one. Hope that this helps.

Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big with Expert Play by Author: Edward Miller

From the Publisher:
For today's poker players, Texas hold 'em is the game. Every day, tens of thousands of small stakes hold 'em games are played all over the world in homes, card rooms, and on the Internet. These games can be very profitable -- if you play well. But most people don't play well and end up leaving their money on the table.
Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big with Expert Play explains everything you need to be a big winner. Unlike many other books about small stakes games, it teaches the aggressive and attacking style used by all professional players. However, it does not simply tell you to play aggressively; it shows you exactly how to make expert decisions through numerous clear and detailed examples.
Small Stakes Hold 'em teaches you to think like a professional player. Topics include implied odds, pot equity, speculative hands, position, the importance of being suited, hand categories, counting outs, evaluating the flop, large pots versus small pots, protecting your hand, betting for value on the river, and playing overcards. In addition, after you learn the winning concepts, test your skills with over fifty hand quizzes that present you with common and critical hold 'em decisions. Choose your action, then compare it to the authors' play and reasoning.
This text presents cutting-edge ideas in straightforward language. It is the most thorough and accurate discussion of small stakes hold 'em available. Your opponents will read this book; make sure you do, too!

[elpoulpo]

Thank you all for your response

to respond : I play mostly in micro limits yet and want to improve my online playing

[arjun2001]

Yes harrington on cash game is good. There is a shortage of good cash game books, I suggest you keep practising yourself, read these forums, ask questions, etc.

[elpoulpo]

That's what I do yet: Playing, reading, learning...

Really very interesting

[jayccin]

the best poker book, that is the bible by doyle brunsen. I think the name is super system you can find it on ebay or amazon

[woody1971]

i have read that one two it is a good book

[BAZULTRA]

I have read several poker books including harrington on holdem expert tournament strategies parts 2 and 3. I thought the books were good but Personally they didnt help me much and I would say they are aimed at a more intermediate skill level. Having said that I have just read a relatively new book by Gus hansen called every hand revealed. Its basically a complete hands history of his Aussie millions win. A superb poker book that I would recommend to anyone who is serious about winning cash at the poker table. If you want expert strategy then this is the book you need. Get the book and improve your game!10/10 from me.

Thanks for the advice, but as I'm far from an expert I will begin with the first ones

(And take note of the last for a close future )

It is, its shown me where my mistakes were. I used to model after gus and some other squeeze players. His book opened my eyes to a lot of my bad reads.
