So, I would like to think Im much better than new player now. I understand alot of basic things like card ranges with position, pot odds, cbets, and other really basic things. However, I still find myself being break even at NL10. So, basically I feel like reading a book (along with playing tons of hands) will help me make another step in my game. I need one book that will give good info to help my game get to next level. HoH series? Poker Theory, or other Sklansky book? Ace on River? I have tons on my computer.

Thanks for taking time to read this, and please any suggestions for a book is appreciated!

I will give you two that will very much help you at your NL game:

1. No Limit HoldEm: Theory and Practice by Sklansky

2. Professional No Limit HoldEm Volume I by Miller

If you are break-even at NL10 reading these two books and following what they say should make you a winner.

In the meantime I would suggest you post your PokerTracker stats and as many hands as possible on the forum so we can get an idea of your weak areas. I believe you lack some fundamentals if you cant beat NL10 so we need as much info as possible to identify which ones you are weak in.

Some of the areas I have had trouble in (and sometimes still do) that made me a losing or break-even player are:

1. BR management

2. Playing in position

3. Taking notes/using stats oppropriately

4. Calling too often

5. Failing to get maximum value

6. Failing to use proper odds calculations

7. Aggression level. Tending to call scared rather than raise when I ought to

8. Not planning my hands very well (The second book I recommended helps in this area tremendously)



Thats all I have for the time being. Work on these things and keep us updated.

I am tring to figure out how to get cake hands to pt....but will post the 9k-10k hands I have from NL2-10 anyway. Im not sure what info yo need though. Like what tabs to push which info you actually need to see.

Give us everything under the general tab for all levels and hands total.
