I have been playing poker for a while now (ruffly 15000 hands) and in the past 2 weeks i started doing really well in freerolls and that (best 5th of 800) and I was wondering what would be a good book to buy for myself.I mostly play big mult table turnys holdem no limit . I have read this websites guides for the books but it was not very specifc to whitch is best and whitch is worse also is there any kind of book with odds back door flush straight full house...etc.What book would be best for me?

(rifleman10 on fulltilt and vegaspoker247 and jomoma10 on pokerstars)

If you are playing large MTTs I would think Harringtons books would prove helpful. Oh & by the way welcome to the forum.

Well, being posted for 12 hours or having 22 views and only one post isn't an awful rate. Some of the viewers are likely looking for books themselves, or agree that HOH is the best place to start.

Plus, there are a number of old threads covering book topics, if you use the search function. See Aliengenius' (our resident librarian) for one.

Welcome to the forum, btw.

whats zen and the art of poker?

I think thats a book...maybe you should read that.
HOH is probably the best. I would also reccomend Supersystem( Doyle Brunson) Its the "Bible of Poker"

Maybe it's because there are 3536458938590 "poker book" threads on here already. Try the search feature. It's very useful.

In those threads, you will find that for tournies most everyone recommends the Harrington series of books.
