| Should I Read some Books? Just wondering what people think about Poker books, and I do wonder if after reading them I may end up change my game to play more like the majority of the field, and end up losing an edge? Not a major concern, as long as I use the knowledge I gain to supplement my strategy rather than supplant my current strategy. Any recommendations for books? I've heard a lot that Harringtons 3 are good? I'm playing mostly NL Hold'em SNG's and Tournaments. I would like to get better at ring games, but right now my focus is on SNG's and tournies. |

| My opinion on poker books is that they can only improve your game, you dont have to change your playing style, just add to it. I have not read any books yet, but I'm sure if I did, my outlook on how I play would change. I'll start reading poker books as soon as there is nothing left to learn here at the forum, and there's always something new to learn here, so I'm in for the long haul |

$25 to buy a decent poker book is the safest investment ever made, if you actually take the time to read it. There's information in the books that you won't find on the forums, specifically because they're already in the books; why bother re-hashing them here? I put together a collection of recommendations in the Guide. It's admittedly getting a bit outdated (which is unavoidable) but the books I list are still good. Cheers, FP |

| I recently read the new Skanky/Miller book NO LIMIT HOLD'EM- Theory and Practice and was just blown away by how good it was. The Harrington books are still the best for tournament play, but this book is the best on the stragedy of the game as a whole, cash or tournament. I don't recommend it as your first pick-up though. Pretty heavy stuff. |
