hey scoops.... ive been a regular at stars for a year and a half now, and im up close to $3k playing micro/low limit sngs and mtts ($3-$12), i also have a +14% ROI... ive never been able to have a large bankroll because i always cashout to cover life expenses and to avoid actually losing it back....

ive read several books such as "holdem for advanced players" by sklansky and malmuth, both "super system" books by brunson, "ace on the river" by greenstein, "poker tells" by mike caro and winning poker tournaments one hand at a time" by "pearljammer", "rizen" and "apestyles", any other recommendations????

i think im above average on the limits i play and wanna move up, to a "smarter poker" level, any book recommendations?

and MORE important, what do u think are the BEST low limit SNGs and scheduled MTTs to build a decent bankroll with a starting BR of around $200-$300??

I would suggest Harrington on Holdem Cash Games vloume 1 and 2.


not every book is perfect but you can take theories and ideas from a number of sources.



Sounds like you are doing just fine. What do you think is your biggest leak.

yeah ive heard harrington books are awesome! number of people have told me... my biggest leaks... i think my biggest leak is definately tilt control, especially since i multi-table usually 3 sng's and 1 mtt, once and if i get an ugly beat on one i get tilted really easily and that transfers over to the other tables... also, chasing my loses on a single session, and limping on the small blind with very marginal hands... usually end up check-calling on the flop if i hit middle/bottom pair depending on the player... but when u play 4 tables is really hard to actually have very solid tells on each player and playing those crappy hands put of position can cost me about 10-20% of my chipstack
