So I know there's a million different threads about poker books, but I was curious particularly about John Vorhaus' Killer Poker series. I believe there are eight different books in this series-- which is the best place to start? I play $5.50 STT's with some MTT's, between $1-2.

Play a lot of 5.50 stts and mtts between 1 and 2. Look, books and stuff of that nature are not going to help you that great a deal. The absolute best way to learn is to play and sometimes watch videos and look at threads in the HA but reading a book is not going to be a great benefit to your game and generally a waste of time/money.

Killer Poker(the first one) is a good book - but it does not teach any good poker skills per se. It is more along the lines of putting yourself into the "Killer Poker" mindset... keeping one away from playing scared,short etc.

That said - if it is the first book you read about poker - you will probably lose money fast. Killer Poker assumes that you have a general knowledge of poker in the first place and you need to know, understand, and be able to utilize those general skills before you hop into killer poker - imoa

I agree with first response - except that i think that if books are a medium that you learn well with - feel free to read ... IN ADDITION TO the previous advice. GL to you:tee:
