Favorite Poker Books

If you were going to re-read one of your poker books, which book would it be?

Well, the ones I have re-read the most are my Harrington on Hold'em books. I would estimate I've read the tourny books approximately 5 times through, less the 3rd which I've only done 3 times.

The cash game books I've gone through in their entirety about 3 times right now. But my friend is borrowing them and when he finishes, it's going to be discussion time, so there will be intense review and debate on much of the material, which I quite look forward to.

I've also re-read ace on the river a few times. I like that book quite a bit. It's a change of scene so to speak amongst the plethora of hand and analysis poker books.

I also think that Sklansky and Miller's "No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice" warrants multiple readings simply for my dumb brain to absorb a little more of the content each time. (I love math, love it! But boy do they go statistical at times)

If you're wondering which is my preferred read? It's Harrington on Hold'em Cash Vol 1 & 2. I'm a cash game player, and I just really like everything about Harrington's books. They're set up well, they read well, and getting a peek inside the thought process of one of the greatest strategical game players in the world is awesome to me.

Stick's Poker Blog: Book Review: "The Poker Mindset" by Ian Taylor & Matthew Hilger

If I was going to reread poker books I would reread Harrington Vol. 1, Vol.2 ,and Vol. 3 and then to compare this with Arnold synder vol. 1 and vol. 2 tournament strategy to compare the analysis of m factor. Finally I would reread the Theory of Mathematics By Chen because it is very difficult to comprehend and a second reading would enhance my understanding of poker math.

Have to agree with the census. I'd have to reread Harrington on Holdem Volume 2.

There is no contest harrington's books.

I loved that one. It can be very dangerous in the wrong hands though.

How 'bout The Poker Tournament Formula by Arnold Snyder.

Sklansky's 'Theory of poker'.

It's always good to keep the basics fresh in your mind. And each time I re-read it I find a hidden gem here and there. I find after I read this book I always have some very profitable sessions. As my poker knowledge and experience increases things in the book that seemed irrellevant or made little sense now become very potent and crucial to my game.

I like to read what phil hellumuth has to say. I bought one of his books a few months back and it helped out my game tremendously.

Thanks to everyone that has posted. Several of the books that have been listed I haven't read yet. Definitely got some reading to do.

I have read several of the Sklansky books with the Theory of Poker and Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players my favorite books. I'm just so burnt out on reading different books though. Most of them say the same things and only vary a tiny bit. Although, I have been told that I should read the Harrington books.

Every once in a while I like to re-read Doyle Brunsons NLHE section in his Super System. Great poker insight i.m.o.

Doyle Brunsons super system....the section on 5 card draw gave me angles and ideas ive never thought of....it was written by mike caro "crazy mike"

I am in the process of re-reading Colin Moshmans's Sit N Go Strategy. I wasn't expecting to get much out of this book initially after reading the Harrington series, but this book has seriously helped my SnG and forced me to see the game in a different way. Good stuff.

Me not being a 'Pro', I found Harrington On Holdem series the MOST helpful---easy reading and sensable playing strategies----I DON'T wanna make it BIG---I just want to stay even or maybe make a few---I'm a realist not a big money player--I do it for the FUN of the game and just enjoy playing at least on the same level as my friends---I know I'm no Chris Ferguson, I just like to at least know what I'm doing and HOH gives me that confidance!

Not a matter of "if" - I've read all the poker books I've got several times over.

The two I come back to the most though are:

Killer Poker - No Limit by Vorhaus, and
Read 'em and Reapby Joe Navarro

are any of theas book's avable to read on-line for free...?

The psychology of poker
alan n. schoolmaker
