Poker Books

[RedheadsRock]

Hi & congratulations to all those that did well over the weekend.

After some pretty disappointing results, I am thinking there are 2 ways that my game will improve.

Either:
1) Lay off the champagne OR
2) Start reading some poker books

So if anyone can recommend a couple of good poker books, I would really appreciate it.

Cheers!!

Harrington on Holdem Volumes 1 and 2 (Good for players of all leves on knowledge)
Kill Phil and Kill Everyone (Best for non-beginner players)
Doyle Brunson Supersystem 2 (Ditto)
Sklansky - Theory of Poker (If you like maths)
Read em and Reap (About poker tells at live games)

hi lisa (i think its lisa anyway)

at the top of this page, on the right, there is a search box. there are a few threads started about this subject already, i recommend you check these out.

doyle brunson's super system is the first book that should be read by just about anyone!

edit: what trishan said

[RedheadsRock]

Awesome, i should have checked there first!
Thanks for your help guys

I'm a cheap bastard though.

I am currently waiting on Kill Everyone and a couple of others to arrive in the mail, however, to pass the time I went and bought "Let's Play Poker" by Lee Nelson. It is labelled as a 'beginners' book but after becoming increasingly frustrated at my performances (I've been playing for a year and a half) I thought I would go back to the start and read some basic stuff to see what I had missed.

It's my bible at the moment, I take it with me everywhere! I have only had the book for a week but there isn't a page without some sort of strategy or tip highlighted. I read and I re-read. I have found it rather helpful and I have used quite a few strategies whilst playing in the last week.

As I said, it's classified as a beginners book however I have found it rather helpful to remind myself of some of the basics

Good luck!

Sometimes we all forget the basic stuff. Plus a strong solid grounding in the basics can easily help keep you in good stead whilst your practice some of the advanced techniques.

i would say that 99% of the players on this forum only play micro stakes online. (i.e below 25/50c blinds)

so by definition, we are all still beginners.

sometimes we think we know all the theory, but knowing and applying correctly are two different things.
