I've returned to poker after a pretty long hiatus, before which (before Black Friday) I was beating NL100 as a side job in college.

I'm focusing on PLO these days, but I do want to keep my NLHE game pretty sharp, primarily (but not only) for tournaments, which—outside of really killer high-roller fields—seem to remain pretty profitable even if NLHE isn't your main focus in poker.

Trouble is, I feel like even the beginner-ish NLHE materials on RIO are starting at a point that's just slightly intimidating to me. Anything that's utilizing solvers tends to have me feeling left behind, for example!

So, does anybody have any recommendations for how to bring my NLHE thinking up to date from, like, 2009... up to 2014 or later?

Obviously the RIO materials proper will be the thing to get me REALLY up to date, but before that I feel like I need some "remedial NLHE" study to get me beyond what I learned from, like, Harrington on Hold 'Em, 2p2 hand reviews, a few months of Deuces Cracked, and my experience grinding PokerStars from many years ago.

I've had my eye on Janda's books as well as Raiser's Edge, so if anybody can say anything about those in particular, I'd appreciate it. But any other recommendations would be great, too!

Thanks!
