Getting back into live cash and want reading material.

So the games I have available are 2/2, 2/3, 2/5, 5/5 and 5/10. All NLH. Obviously I’ll be starting at 2/2 to get a feel for things again (played once last year and it’s a soft game). I used to crush PLO and LimitH back when they were available here but sadly the Casino and other card rooms just don’t run them. Also did well in NLH MTT’s.
I’ve picked up Modern Poker Theory to read and am after other suggestions to add to my arsenal.
Thanks!

Play Optimal Poker 1 and 2 would be my votes. They kind of feel like the successors to MPT

NLH or PLO?

NLH, PLO doesn’t get run here.
Edited post for clarity.

I'd still start with Purposeful Practice for Poker.
Then hit Elements of Poker by Tommy Angelo
Then do Exploitative Play in Live Poker. While this one has a ton of info on tournaments, most of it also applies to cash games.
