Joe Kelly had a run on deadpool..unfortunately, i have'nt read much deadpool to suggest anything to you :/
ok... i understand now ty
what about the other limited series like:
deadpool corps
deadool kiil the marvel universe/ kill deadpool
deadpool vs carrange/x-force
deadpool pulp
deadpool merc with a mouth
deadool max
deadpool wade's war
is there something good from this list?
The current run is by Gerry Duggan & Brian Posehn and just like Darthkotsis said it becomes really good from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly arc and onwards. I would also recommend checking out the miniseries Deadpool Dracula's Gauntlet and the upcoming Hawkeye vs Deadpool and Death of Wolverine: Deadpool and Captain America since they all tie-in to the main series. The former is written by both men and the latter two by just Gerry Duggan.
On top of Kelly's run and Cable & Deadpool, I'll also recommend Rick Remender's Uncanny X-Force which had a great portrayal of Deadpool. If you want to go old school you could check out the first 25 issues of the original X-Force by Fabian Nicieza and see Deadpool as a villain. Then you could check out the Deadpool Classics Vol. 1 which combined his first two miniseries where he started to make the transition from villain to anti-hero though he stumbled along the way. I believe the first issue of Kelly's run is also collected there. In fact out the Deadpool classics, volumes 2-5 collects all of Kelly's run and volume 9 and the soon to be released volume 10 will collect Gail Simone's run (along with Agent X) which will provide some good background for Cable & Deadpool.

You might want to get the Deadpool Minibus (it collects Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool Kills Deadpool, Deadpool Killustrated, Deadpool vs Carnage and another one I can't remember). Other than that I'm gonna say Deadpool by Joe Kelly, Cable&Deadpool and the current series starting with "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

I'm not a Deadpool fan, but he was great in 'Cable & Deadpool' and 'Uncanny X-force'. Both those runs are collected in an omnibus(C&D comes out in a few months).
so as i see it deadpool is recommended to be read as one in a team, but not as solo? (with cable or x-force)
More like a solo not written by Daniel Way since you didn't like one of his stories and they are generally the same. Plenty of us have recommended Kelly's run, the current run by Duggan & Posehn and the related mini series i mentioned in my earlier post. Cable & Deadpool spent as much time apart as they did working together.
To sum up my earlier post you could check out (in chronological order)
X-Force HC Vol.1-3 which collects his earlier appearances as a villain
Deadpool Classic vol. 1 (the transition period to Kelly's run which collects the Circle Chase and Sins of the Past miniseries)
Deadpool Classic vol. 2-5 (Kelly's run)
Deadpool Classic vol. 9-10 (Simone's run plus Agent X)
All the Cable & Deadpool
Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender
Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn's run(especially the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) along with Deadpool Dracula's Gauntlet and upcoming Hawkeye vs Deadpool mini-series.

All this. All of it. Way's run sucked (the Secret Invasion arc was pretty OK, one of the best in that run). The Duggan/Posehn run was crap until The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which brought in the drama the character requires to be worth reading. And Joe Kelly's classic run - which has been collected - is fantastic, and the reason I like the character. I'm not quite as enamoured of Cable & Deadpool as most people, but it was pretty good.
Those are the only OK ones from the list. Those two Deadpool Kills minis were darkly comical - Killustrated had the added benefit of lots of literary references. (Deadpool Kills Deadpool was just awful.) Deadpool vs. X-Force has been a lot of fun so far. It's very much rooted in the early '90s, but without all the awful. It might not appeal to someone who hasn't read the late New Mutants/early X-Force comics where Deadpool first showed up.
Deadpool's one of those characters than when written well, he is really interesting and genuinely funny, but fits pretty much any tone under the right pen... But written badly he's a boring unfunny juvenile joke. The best Deadpool stories are the ones where it's made clear he's NOT just some goofy clown - he's acting out because he is really, really messed up and can't cope with the real world - Nicieza was the first to go down this route, Kelly raised it to an art form, the new run started out wacky but has got more serious and better for it. He also needs a good foil/cast to bounce off - Weasel and Blind Al, Cable, the rest of Uncanny X-Force, Agent Preston all act as a counterpoint. In Way's run he only had Bob, who was basically a much worse Weasel and was just there for bad/'funny' things to happen to rather than challenging Deadpool in any way.
