Books I do NOT recommend to anyone:
Beyond Tells by James McKenna

What No One Else is Saying about Online Poker by Carl Varrone

Jesus H. Christ.

Holy shi..........

Library is definitely the right word. O_0

...on a pogo stick

can i borrow your chip tricks dvd?

which one ? lol

The question is, have you read all of these??

Speed reader?
or just
"Too Much Time On My Hands"
STYX

Most jealous. And I don't know that an actual library would have a poker section that comprehensive!

I have read a lot (most?) of them.

Here is the original library thread. So many good books have come out lately that I just can't keep up . But I will read them sooner rather than later. That means I'll get even better, and that's a good thing .

I can't help it if they publish them faster than is reasonable, but I'm doing my best ...

If you want to save yourself a few grand, I've been able to find and download most of these titles on P2P networks (as ebooks).

Wow. Quite the list.

I've been thinking about picking up Professional No-Limit Hold'em and Kill Everyone. Would you recommend both?

True, and there is and has been a movement afoot to make all books/literature digital. But I don't think it will ever happen (at least not in my lifetime), as the physical "book" has aesthetic qualities that a screen can never have.

Also, until they come up with an easy system where you can underline and annotate your digital version it will never have the same value as a physical copy where you can underline and make marginalia.

I'll admit that I was an English Lit major and have a bias toward books in general, however...

I will note that every inch of wall space that wasn't covered in books was covered in Shakespeare in the Park posters, and that the ladies liked that, for what it's worth ...

Not to mention you're ripping the authors off by downloading an illegal copy of it. Not to say I haven't downloaded books myself, but I agree with AG that having a hard copy is just soo much better.

I stare at my PC monitor for too long every day as it is

which ever one is better??

lol at that. Meanwhile back in the real world, I live in a 3rd world country where everything is pirate, and I prefer to keep the paper in my pocket!

France (?) is a third world country?

Or maybe I don't live in the "real world" (Buffalo, NY)?

Obviously I'm not living in France at the moment....

But wherever I choose to lay my hat I will always be DaFrench1 ; )

Your not the poker wing of the National Library are you?

Here is a list of books I don't have (!), just in case you wanted to get me something for x-mas:

Did you miss this or are you just ignoring me?

Oopps, sorry I missed that . Yes, get them both !

Thanks, I thought maybe you had missed it since you responded shortly after I asked to the post above mine. Although I wouldn't have blamed you for ignoring me either.

You need an avatar! Less easy to miss your posts if you had a pic...

AG, you're through PNL right?

Sadly, I have not even touched it...

When you get around to it, let me know; there's a concept in there I wanted to talk to you about.

if u have that many books how have u had time to make 2100 posts here?

It's easy, just quit you job...

excuse me mr AG why are you ignoring my request to borrow a DVD.....stupid jerk hurting my feelings....lol

This is why AG is a great player!!! Wisdom is a must when you play poker but you must also have the natural ability of picking up on tells. That is the only thing a book will never teach you. They only tell you what to look for nobody can give you the pure skill of reading your opponent. Awsome Library AG...

Hey Ag is that all you do is play poker now or do you work a part time job. Just curious mainly Im hoping to make poker my full income soon and Im well on my way to my mark.

Hey Ag how do you go about putting a avatar on CC. Thx, Unlucky 79

I was dealing in a bar league for a bit, but that's over now. I did just get hired by our local casino to deal blackjack, and am hoping I can move to the poker room asap. But right now, no, no job.

"User CP" top right.

AG, what are your all-time favourites from that awesome list, say top five?
