Trying to learn fundamentals, need more good reading material.

So far ive read:
Super system 1
Ace on the river by barry greenstein
holdem wisdom for all players by daniel negreanu

only been playing a few months. I might be wrong, but i feel like i need more material on probabilities and the math side of it. But maybe im putting too much emphasis on the math portion.. idk, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I just want to have the fundamentals down.. ty all

It doesn't do any harm to read a few poker magazines as well as the heavy material. At least half of what i've learned is from condensed articles in bluff or the WPT mags. It often sinks in easier.
Maybe either take up a subscription or pick up a few mags second hand off the net for a bargain price. They all contain great info, just in smaller digestable chunks!

It depends on what you're playing.
If NLHE tournament poker (mtt & sng) is your preference, I'd recommend Phil Gordon's 'Little Green Book'. It is very well written and will help to give you a good foundation (there's very little math in it but what math there is, is explained in simple terms).

After that book I'd read Harrington On Holdem Vol.1 & 2 NLHE TournamentPlay.
If SNG's are your preference... you can't beat Collin Moshmann's SNG book.

I've read easily in excess of a few dozen poker books and the ones above are the ones that I would recommend (NLHE tournament play).
Alot of the books I've read I've managed to loan from the local library on an inter-library book loan (they seem to be able to get me just about anything). Same for poker mags. - - the local library in town here now has a subscription to Bluff Magazine (I'm the only one who loans it out, lol)

This is a common topic, any chance of stickying AG's posts on his library?

thanks everyone for the input. greatly appreciated. and I agree with the sticky idea... ty again

Collin Moshman's heads up book is a beauty, not only does it help you with heads up sitngo's, but also with general shorthanded play and postflop play(huge advantage in any game).
Other than that, Killer poker online is a nice book, not too much heavy poker content but it's a nice read and changes from sklansky's amateuristic writing style(not bashing sklansky's poker knowlege don't worry ).

I've got a good pdf explaining poker math clearly, pm me if youre email address or something and I'll send it you want. You can find odds charts all over the net if you want help with probabilities. Have a look around the forum, im sure there will be plenty of good articles on this.

As stated earlier Phil Gordan's little green book is very good, covers a lot of topics and is easy to read.

Phil Gordon's Little Green Book, followed by his Little Blue Book.

Super System and Ace on the River are both pretty advanced titles and while they're both very good reads they're not all that relevant if all you're doing is playing low to medium stakes NLHE. Phil Gordon's books cover the fundamentals (including math) in a simple to understand and easy to apply way, and focus solely on NLHE. I'd definitely give them both a look.
