Roo6339 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I'm looking for a good limit poker book that deals specifically with low limit, even micro if there is one. I have Super System 2 and the chapter on limit hold'em was excellent and gave me an extreme interest in limit poker. Any other books that I should have a read of?As I said before, I'm playing micro kind of limits, so books that deal a lot with very loose games would be excellent. I'm aware there probably isn't that much reading material on micro stakes since it's generally a lot more luck based, but yeah, any suggestions would be great. Link to post Share on other sites
tsalagi 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Not necessarily for micro limit, but good for low limit. Read Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big With Expert Play by Sklansky/Miller/Malmuth Link to post Share on other sites
Roo6339 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Thanks for the suggestion. I looked it up and saw that there is also "winning low-limit hold'em". Has anyone read both of these books and can tell me which one they think is better? Price isn't an issue as they are both exactly the same. I could buy them together and save a little on shipping, but I'd rather just buy one as I'm assuming they're pretty similar. Link to post Share on other sites

From what I read of it, it looked excellent. Sklansky's books are also very good, but I think they are a tougher read. I'd go with Winning Low Limit Holdem if I was going to choose just one.

monix 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 DON’T read Winning Low Limit Hold 'em by Lee Jones; it teaches a "weak-tight" style and is not recommended. The Miller/Sklansky book, SSHE, is much better, and while it is not for absolute beginners, it is a fabulous book. Link to post Share on other sites

Roo6339 0 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Sweet, thanks guys. I think I'll go with the Sklansky book. Now I just gotta find a store that sells it without having to pay twice the amount on postage... Link to post Share on other sites

I play PS exclusively, but my FPP never seem to go up, probably because the rake never reaches 0.40c at the stakes I play... It says I need 1500, so that's gonna take a loooooooong time.

SCYUKON 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Holdem on the Come by Rolf Slotboom is excellent for loose games as well. Really good at teaching how to figure implied pot odds and if it will be worthwhile to chase to the river Link to post Share on other sites
