Play by the book

i never played by "the book" but now that it is more serious i was wondeirng which book you would recomend.

Play by the book what you read here. Its better and cheaper.

My friends play with the books and it works!

I look at it this way...if you play by the book, you become an open book... and an ATM for the pro and advanced players out there. learn here from others mistakes, and your better off.

its better to know than not to know the information in the books written by poker pros who are sharing their experiences with everyone

read books but don't follow the rules exactly

i.e. caro's book of tells generalizes certain motions/movements as tells for a bluff or tells of strength

pros who have read the book could purposely be doing a movement considered to be a tell for a bluff when really they are holding a monster

just read the books, take in the information in and judge your opponents play by your own analysis...but reading the books will help give you more information to analyze with

While the books are excellent references, you also need some of your own style in the game, or else everyone knows how you're playin...... Try Phil Helmuths book

Yes thats true, in the beginning I played according to the book, but you have to give it a touch of your one game, otherwise its not funny anylonger.

i would say go with what u know and if that not enough then u should not be playing poker because u end up getting in to hands that u dont need to be in if u start think about what the book says the ppl that wright these books are not with u on the night so go with what u know m8 best advice i can give
