Best Poker Book

Any advice on the best poker book I should read? Mainly play tourney poker, but I plan to play at more ring games. I mostly play online.

Start with the Bible of Poker-Super System. Learning should be from more than one source, one book and one game. Good luck

SS 2, HOH1,2,3(never got the 3rd part i might get it) start with these 4 books.. once you done (and that will take you a while i`ve been reading HOH1 and 2 for a year now... lol no because i`m slow reader but because its like the 5th time i`m reading them again and again my memory sucks i cant remember shit...)

ps. SS 2 - Super System 2
HOH - Harrington on Hold'em

I also recommend the Harrington books (not only Harrington on Hold'em, but also Harrington on Cash Games) - they really are worth the money.

See here.

Do not buy Super/System: it isn't really that appropriate for most players, nor is it even close to the "best" book out there (whatever that means).

Sklansky's Theory of Poker and/or NLHE Theory and Practice are probably the "best" books out there if you don't pick a specific area poker. See above thread link before you run out and make these your first books, however.

i think that just as important as stragety is where your head is at. so no matter what book you read "the poker mindset" is a must.

My guess would be "Strategy and tactics for winning poker play" but I could be wrong
