The books depend on the ring game you are playing. To learn more about limit holdem I would recommend you read 3 books. Start with either Winning Low Limit Hold em by Lee Jones or
Small Stakes Hold em by Ed Miller, David Sklansky, and Mason Malmuth. AFTER you’ve read those and have played a bit I would recommend reading Internet Texas Hold em Winning Strategies from an Internet Pro by Matthew Hilger. The first two books are pretty much interchangable. I’d read the first chapter of each and see which you like better before buying. The 2nd book is more advanced and teaches play at middle limits.
To learn No limit Hold Em I would recommend reading No-Limit Hold Em Theory and Practice By David Sklansky and Ed Miller. You’ve read that AND have played using its principles, I would recommend reading Professional No-Limit Hold Em by Ed Miller, Matt Flynn, and Sunny Mehta. After you have read both I would recommend reading Caro’s Most Profitable Hold Em Advice by Mike Caro.
The reason for this order is that theory and practice teaches the basics. You wont understand what hands to play and why if you dont read that. Professional No-Limit Hold Em teaches modern concepts that go beyond the cards but you need to understand the basics first before this will make sense. Caro’s Most Profitable is a very advanced book that has a wealth of great information but you have to have played and have a great understanding of oppenents and situations to put that advice to good use. If you read these books out of order it will SERIOUSLY mess your game up.
Hope this helps you out
