What books comprise your "Poker Bible"?
I have lots of poker strategy/tips books in my library, but in my opinion the most helpful to me and the ones I draw information from most frequently are Phil Hellmuth's Texas Hold-em and Beat Texas Hold-em by Tom McEvoy and Shane Smith. The Phil Hellmuth book is an excerpt of best-selling book Play Poker Like the Pros with some added information and lots of examples of hands and situations. Both are extremely well laid out and easy to read. What books are in you guys' arsenals? Why are they your favorites? I'm looking for some new reads. My game has dramatically improved since becoming a student of the game rather than just a player.

Read more than one, compare them, and take things from each one. The two I first posted are great. SuperSystem by Doyle Brunson is kind of dated but great also. There are bits to be learned from each one individually. Read, read, read is my advice.

For a newbie, i would recommend the DVDs of Howard Lederer (if you are really a newbie, with no idea of the game). Then, practice some months and then read "Hold em Poker For Advanced Players By Sklansky and Malmuth", i like it very much. Of course keep reading as much books as you can. Try every book, because all of them have some details that can be really usefull to improve your game.

for me, theres only one title: harrington on holdem (vol1,2).
if u too, like myself, are into tournament NLHE, IMHO, thats all u need, book-wise. and ive also heard from cash game players that they found it very helpful, strategy-wise, as well... |

the only poker resources i have are this site, which is very helpful learning from you more seasoned players' experiences
but other than that...'prolessons' fulltilt emails lol and other crappier little things man i really gotta hit up my local bookstore and clear it out of all its poker books... i really am trying to get my hands on Supersystem 1&2 and some hellmuth books...despite the fact that i hate the guy, he knows his poker i mean i'm sure i've heard him say at least every WSOP after a bad beat: "hmm...it's a good thing i'm such a good poker player...wow can't believe you called with that" ![]() |

I've got a couple of books, but I'm in no way qualified to say whether they're any good.
I've heard great things about Doyle Brunson's books though. Was checking out Super System 2 yesterday. Pricey, but seemed to have a lot of good, solid info in it. |
