Gave it a go for the first time yesterday morning, seems very good. Have never studied any NL strat, recommendations for starting points? I am not trolling.
Ed Miller's stuff is good --
The Course reduces beating 1-3 to three fundamental points (a big one being don't pay off big bets because big bets mean they have it, at those stakes). Jonathan Little's NLHE cash games are very good, and he has a little half-size book aimed at small stakes.
I haven't read the Janda book suggested above but the "For Advanced Players" makes me think it's not the right starting point.
Biggest single move from LHE is to learn to reevaluate hands based on implied odds and context. Against someone who's been folding hands waiting to flop that elusive set, unimproved AA is not a stacking off hand. Against someone who'll pay off three streets with worse, it's definitely a bet-three-streets-and-get-stacks-in hand (and many aspiring NL sharps don't realize that). Learn to tell the difference.
