I am looking for feedback on the following books. Don’t hold back, good or bad. Insightful, useful, helpful??
Internet Texas Hold'em: Winning Strategies from an Internet Pro
by Matthew Hilger
Tournament Poker for Advanced Players (Advance Player)
by David Sklansky
Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big With Expert Play
by Ed Miller
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Well, I'm going to make assumptions here and tell you not to get Hilger's book. From what people have said, the title is deceptive, because he basically just teaches you the game of Hold'em, and if you're planning on reading Sklansky, you don't need an intro. So forget that book. Hold'em for Advanced Players is considered the Bible of Hold'em, so you can't go wrong there. I have it but haven't read it yet. All I can tell you is that Sklansky is tough to read but brilliant.
I also just bought the Small Stakes book. The content looks good to me from looking at the contents, but I've heard that it's kind of an all-or-nothing book. Either you play that way or you don't. There's no incorporation of the strategy in there to your current strategy - you have to play that way for it to work.
