If you had to recommend ONE book (I know there are tons out there) for Low Limit Hold'em, what would it be?

Mostly into internet play, but bonus points if it covers B&M as well. Even better if they cover internet tourneys as well.

"Winning low limit hold em" By Lee Jones. You can find it cheap on Ebay and it is worth every penny, ESPECIALLY if what he writes in there is news to you. He makes low limit a very mechanical game in which you can become a winner at, not a big winner, but it will make you a better player. I am getting closer and closer to a break even player myself and hope to get over the hump next year and if I just stuck to the advice in his book and only played ring games I could, probably, do it. I tend to wander into the SNG and multi table tournaments too much and I am just not skilled enough to make any big scores in those games, yet.

Lou Kreiger, Hold Em Excellence
Gary Carson, A Winner's Guide To Texas Hold Em (?)
Lee Jones, Winning Low Limit Hold Em (?)

(?) - Indicates exact title may not be correct.

These are three good books. If you are serious about getting better, spend one month on each book. Play a lot of poker. Get through these, report back in 3 months, and I'll have books you should advance to.
