Begginer cash game books?

Hey guys,

I've been playing for maybe 4 months now and when I play sngs I tend to do pretty well but I absolutely bomb cash games. I would like a few books to read in order to improve my cash game. I'm not an absolute newbie but there are clearly holes in my game if I can't actually keep my balance up..


Thanks

Needs more Harrington on Hold'em: Cash Games Vol I and II.

Those 2 alone will keep you busy for a month.

Re: Begginer cash game books?

I'm finishing up the Harrington books. What should I read next? I was thinking of "Kill Everyone", but is there anything on crushing micro stakes that any of you would recommend?

This is almost entirely about tournaments/SNGs (& is recommended reading on these subjects). The "bonus" chapter on cash games is all right, but far too short to teach anything very much.

I like harrington on cash, but don't dare and apply that to the microstakes. You will out level yourself. Harrington on cash is for the thinking player playing other thinking players. You're not playing thinking players at the micros.

Anyone seen this one or know anything about it or the author? Just came out this month I believe. I sure like the title as a beginner playing uNL.

The fundamentals of the cash game are explained and most basic mathematics.

Key to profiting in any NLHCG
