No Limit Hold'em theory + strategy books ... - PKR Nation - For PKR 3D Poker and Casino Players

Obviously there is the "Bible" of poker books, Brunson's Super/System, but what other ones would you recommend regarding No Limit theory and strategy?. I'm currently reading Gary Carson's Complete Hold'em along with the Texas Hold'em for Dummies (I thought I'd give it a browse through).

A little side note, but still related to the topic at hand...
Does anyone else out there get a little confused regarding Super/System?. I don't mean confused as in not understanding the material, but I just personally find that he's all over the map and the book sometimes lacks structure so to speak. Maybe I'm wrong here, but compared to the Gary Carson book I just picked up, it's like night and day.

check out the harrington on hold-em series of books.

theres 3 books covering all aspects of tournament play with the last 1 being a work book to test you on what youve learnt,i found these to be an excellent read.

give em a look.

I got it for free when I joined PKR as a kind of promo. It is not really a book, more a magazine. It only covers the basics of the game, and focuses totally on the PKR software.
If you want to learn the game, you are better off buying a real strategy book

I'm most definitely with you on that one Sheidar. There is ALWAYS either something new to learn or an aspect of your game that needs some attention. There is NEVER a time when you can say that you have it all and therefore require no further personal development. If you do hear someone say that at your table, etc. sit back and enjoy the show as they implode under their own pressure and unknowingly become their own worst enemy.
