Really simple - read the two volumes of Harrington on Cash Games.

I still think super system is the bible hold em poker. Whether cash or tournament play you can't go wrong with the best.

No to Harrington on Cash. No to Super System.

Grab NL Holdem: Theory and Practice.

Forgive me if I'm wrong as I haven't read them, but wouldn't the Harrington books offer a lot of advanced concepts not really applicable to the level the OP is playing? Honestly for those levels I would recommend Phil Gordon's little Green and Blue books.

I have read them and you're not wrong. Gordon's books are fine starters but are really basic and more tourney oriented.

I agree they might be a bit basic, but they are very solid and with the strategies provided he could definitely beat those levels. Also there is a decent amount about cash in them. So you would recommend Theory and Practice as a good book to follow those?

I would. I've personally read it 6 or 7 times the whole way through and certain subjects probably twice that amount.

No one that plays NL should ever read SuperSystem and try to apply its advice to todays game.
Its NLTH chapter was written for tight passive deepstacked poker, something u dont get much of today.
That said its still a good book imo,just not the NL chapter.





Professional NL Holdem
NL:Theory and Practise
I see Fees 6max book has already been mentioned, good and free so check it out.
Phil Gordons Litle blue and Litle Green book are great first poker books.

Also very good. As is SSNL (eBook) by the same authors.

That ebook is excellent. And at $100, it's a bargain (compared to those of CTS or belugawhale).

http://smallstakesnolimitholdem.com

EDIT: tbh, that ebook is targeted to somewhat advanced players. its goal is to teach you how to beat 200nl 6max online when you're already able to hold your own at 50nl or something like that.
