hey any good poker book ideas?

hey im starting to play at casinos and was wondering if any1 can tell me any good poker books to buy because i would like to learn to play better and people have told me to practice and buy a poker book but there are so many out there any suggestions?

Harrington on Hold'Em.

First Poker Books try this link, it has some great suggestions.

Those books are awesome.
Someone in another thread suggested getting them at half.comm as they're pretty cheap there.

I'm not a superduper wining player.
But, I have read some suggestions from the pros.

And this one is good.

"Every books are providing good basic strategies but when you are in action, don't play after the book, instead trust your instincts and make a decision."

As great as these books are, I wouldn't start with them. Read Phil Gordon's LITTLE GREEN BOOK, or any of several by Tom McEvoy. This will get you good basic grasp of general game theory. Then read HoH, all three volumes. Then read 'em again, they're that good.

i myself thought harringtons book was pretty good. i like brunson book also!

There are so many poker books available now days that you can go through but for a start these books will be beneficial for you
Middle limit holdem poker
Improve your poker
Pot-limit & no-limit poker
Omaha poker

Book that has improved my game most has been Killer Poker Online - specifically the chapter on heads up (which I particularly enjoy). totally changed my view on heads up play.

agree with others too - harrington series are great.

Agree, don't START w. Harrington. See the thread linked above^^^.


Yeah, I recommend all the "Killer" books.

Thanks yet again AG, I have just ordered :
1. Getting Started in Holdem by Ed Miller
2. Little Green Book, by Phil Gordon

Been struggling a little with Super System, which you don't recommend as a first book anyway, but no doubt I'll return to it later.

anything recommended by AG gets my vote. he is the resident library here and knows his stuff
