Are there any good affordable books/material on NLHU?



Also, differenced between playing NLHUSnG and NLHUCash?

50 BI's. HU is very variance heavy, lots of allins, lots of bluffing, lots of hero calling, etc etc. You'll be punting stacks back and forth all day. The only difference between sng and cash is that with sng you'll have to divert into push/fold mode when you become short stacked or the blinds get too big. Personally I dont like this, as it means you're only playing real HU for about 10 minutes or so. I also dont like learning my opponent just to have the game end and play someone else. I want to learn someone and play them as long as possible until they quit.

Thanks pal, I'll steer clear of NLHUSnG

What about if I'm sick aggro? Would 50 BI's still be suffice? I forgot to mention I am in my OP

There´s a lot of variane in HU and you have to be comfortable getting it in or playing big pots in marginal spots, so I think that at least 50 BIs is necessary.

Dont stear clear of HUsng just cuz I say so, that was only an opinion. They are a perfectly viable form of poker and many people make a living at it playing in the $50 range. It's just not my style. I think 50 BI's is enough for any play style. If you lose 30 BI's then you need to step back and make sure you know what you're doing.
