I have been starting to play limit holdem on pokerstars a lot more and I realized how different it is then nl. It seems like in limit there is more of a set good play for every situation. So I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book for me to study which gives a good analysis of as many different situations as possible. I am not looking for a book on general theory, but a more specific book that basically says, "play this hand this way". Also, if there is a book better suited for lower limits, that would be great as well. Thanks for any help.

real poker, the Roy Cooke files, or just look at his archived articles in cardplayer.

I haven't read Small Stakes Hold'em, but have heard good things. I've also heard that Malmuth's Poker Essays have good content.

EDIT: I haven't read either of these, so get other advice first.

SSH is the best place to learn low limit hold'em right now, also read HPFAP for context.

Essays delves more into theoretical stuff and what ifs. Not a really good guide on how to play. Almost required to have read HPFAP, TOP, and Gambling Theory and Other topics before Poker Essays

All right, I haven't read Essays, so I was just putting it out there. But I have heard SSH is very good. I didn't say the others, because he said that he didn't want any "theory" books.

Yea i own both theory of poker, and Hold em poker for advanced players. They are good books, but what i am really looking for is just a book with many different senerios and the way to play each for best value. Like "you hold ace king suited on the button when tight ted and ... you should... if the flop is ... do .... but if ... do ..." something like that if this even exists. I have the basic theory that they talk about in slanksys hold em books.
