poker strategy

THJE asked:

I’m good at maths and it occurred to me now that i have a few months with nothing to do i should use this to try and make money with online poker. I’ve played with my family before, but usually with play money and not to a very high standard. I can work out the probabilities of a hand winning and stuff, but i am aware there’s a lot more to it, including analyzing the way players bet and the psychology of it, so does anyone know of a good book that can help me learn some of that stuff. Specifically, I’d like to learn how to win at low-limit tables (like $0.50/$1 or lower), and take the money off the players which i assume are quite bad who play on those tables.

So basically I want a book on limit hold’em poker strategy designed for consistently taking small amounts of money from weak players. Can anyone reccomend anything?
thank you Judas (!), do you know where I could buy that Lee Jones one in London, I’ve also heard about it and by the title it sounds fairly ideal…
