3. Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big With Expert Play

You don't usually think of poker pros playing small-stakes games, but if they did, this book tells you how they'd play -- and how to emulate them. Ed Miller, David Sklansky, and Mason Malmuth's write on topics including implied odds, position, counting outs, evaluating the flop, and value betting. Quizzes at the end let you see if you've really learned your stuff.

4. How Good is Your Limit Hold'em by Byron Jacobs

This book uses a test-yourself format to simulate live action play and asking you to choose what to do at each stage of a limit Texas Hold'em hand. As I like puzzles, I enjoyed mentally muscling my way through the hands, and it has useful lessons for both live games and online play.
