If you were going to re-read one of your poker books, which book would it be?

Well, the ones I have re-read the most are my Harrington on Hold'em books. I would estimate I've read the tourny books approximately 5 times through, less the 3rd which I've only done 3 times.
The cash game books I've gone through in their entirety about 3 times right now. But my friend is borrowing them and when he finishes, it's going to be discussion time, so there will be intense review and debate on much of the material, which I quite look forward to.
I've also re-read ace on the river a few times. I like that book quite a bit. It's a change of scene so to speak amongst the plethora of hand and analysis poker books.
I also think that Sklansky and Miller's "No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice" warrants multiple readings simply for my dumb brain to absorb a little more of the content each time. (I love math, love it! But boy do they go statistical at times)
If you're wondering which is my preferred read? It's Harrington on Hold'em Cash Vol 1 & 2. I'm a cash game player, and I just really like everything about Harrington's books. They're set up well, they read well, and getting a peek inside the thought process of one of the greatest strategical game players in the world is awesome to me.

If I was going to reread poker books I would reread Harrington Vol. 1, Vol.2 ,and Vol. 3 and then to compare this with Arnold synder vol. 1 and vol. 2 tournament strategy to compare the analysis of m factor. Finally I would reread the Theory of Mathematics By Chen because it is very difficult to comprehend and a second reading would enhance my understanding of poker math.

I personally don't like the Harrington books. In my opinion, they are way too "cookie-cutter" and not the way to play if you want to make it big. Sure you can be break-even player or maybe even a little successful but it's way too predictable now as 99% plays like that.
My personal favorite poker book is Gus Hansen's : Every Hand Revealed. It proposes a new outlook on the game. It can be described mostly as Small-Ball poker but with some variations here and there.
Another book is by Daniel Negreanu, and I'm pretty sure it's something Power Hold'em where he and a whole bunch of other people who now are part of PokerVT have contributed.

I loved that one. It can be very dangerous in the wrong hands though.

Sklansky's 'Theory of poker'.
It's always good to keep the basics fresh in your mind. And each time I re-read it I find a hidden gem here and there. I find after I read this book I always have some very profitable sessions. As my poker knowledge and experience increases things in the book that seemed irrellevant or made little sense now become very potent and crucial to my game.

You're right Four_Dogs. I should've added that Small-Ball poker is for more advanced players as if it's in the hands of a beginner, all that you'll accomplish with that strategy is how to throw your chips down the drain faster. It takes a lot of practice and you gotta be able to read players very well and be able to switch gears at appropriate times and be active throughout the entire time, not playing like a nit.

I have read several of the Sklansky books with the Theory of Poker and Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players my favorite books. I'm just so burnt out on reading different books though. Most of them say the same things and only vary a tiny bit. Although, I have been told that I should read the Harrington books.

I am in the process of re-reading Colin Moshmans's Sit N Go Strategy. I wasn't expecting to get much out of this book initially after reading the Harrington series, but this book has seriously helped my SnG and forced me to see the game in a different way. Good stuff.

Me not being a 'Pro', I found Harrington On Holdem series the MOST helpful---easy reading and sensable playing strategies----I DON'T wanna make it BIG---I just want to stay even or maybe make a few---I'm a realist not a big money player--I do it for the FUN of the game and just enjoy playing at least on the same level as my friends---I know I'm no Chris Ferguson, I just like to at least know what I'm doing and HOH gives me that confidance!
