haha, sorry, i thought the books i had read were kinda all along the same route. Im mostly interested in hold'em. Books on cash games rather then tourneys, but seems like most books i've found are on tourneys, which i don't really mind.
So all in all, advanced hold'em books in general is what im lookin for not really too interested in other poker games. |

Phil Gordon's Little Blue Book is worth a read - it puts the theory of the Little Green Book into practice with loads of hand analysis, and about half of it focuses on cash games.
The Killer Poker books by Vorhaus also come highly recommended. |

You might consider the mathematics of poker.
It is the only poker book that I like. Harrington simplifies poker to much, so I dont like his books. Mathematics of poker does not simplifies things and say it the right way. It is not the math that is important in this book, it is that you understand what the book is trying to learn you. THis book helps you with especially cash games. But also any other poker game you will come across. |

if you liked the harrington books then i would say harrington on cash vol 1 and 2, especially at anything 25nl and up. gives more analysis of cash situations where stacking with tptk against anyone other than a complete fish is not a smart move.
also covers deepstack play which tourneys usually dont have. i just finished vol 1 and learned alot, about to buy vol 2 on friday. |

harrington's vol 3 was not a waste at all...in fact, I got more out of that then the first two b/c its puts vol 1 and vol 2 in excellent perspective by actually doing problems and figuring plays out. you're not just reading, you're doing. maybe i learn better by doing and that's why i liked it...i dunno good stuff.
any sklansky book is good...there's a few to choose from |

Just read throguh "Super System" and it had alot of interesting insights i never thought about. the fundamental strategy is simular to most other books, but his aggressive style is very interesting. For a book written in 1978 it still has alot of relevant info.
Dunno whats next tho, probably another one of gordons books. |

For tourney play check out "Kill Everyone". It's a good read after you are done with the HoH tourney books.
A book that just came out recently that i am finding interesting, because I like seeing peoples thought processes during hands, is "Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time". Pearljammer, Rizen, and Apestyles go over hands that they have played seperately, then at the end the 3 go over a set of the same hands and show how each of them would play it. I'm not a big cash game player...but I did like Ed Millers "Small Stakes Holdem", if you play limit that is. |

Greenstein's Ace on The River is good for things like BR management and the other things tha aren't mentioned in most theory books. But I'd say just read the 2+2 poker forums, they have all relevant information on every game if you dig in there deep enough, and it's free.

How about lets take a break from all the strategy, BR management, tip books and go for The Professor, The Banker, & The Suicide King: Inside The Richest Poker Game of All Time.
A very great read! |

I heard that was great, Andy Beal himself is a fascinating person. I really want to get my hands on a copy but I haven't been motivated enough to.

That, and any book that has a chapter titled "Poker and your sexuality" has gotta be worth a look ![]() |

overall sentiment seems to be that the section written by negreanu is excellent, and those by his contributors are some pretty decent, some lackluster. most think it's worth it for negreanu's section alone

add Phil Gordon's Little Blue Book to the list of ones you should have in your library...he breaks down hands in different game situations, much like harrington does.
the green book was ok, but very basic. great for a beginner player but not for everyone. |
