Hey alien, I am looking to pick up a few more books, could you recommend some to me since you've probably read more poker books than anyone on this forum lol?
This is what I currently have-
Theory of Poker - Sklansky
Hold'em for Advanced Players - Sklansky & Malmouth
Real Poker II: The Play of Hands - Roy Cooke
Little Green Book - Phil Gordon
Mike Caro's book of Tells
Super/System 2 - Brunson
Harrington on Hold'em 2
Harrington on Hold'em 3
Ace on the River by Barry Greenstein
Killer Poker No Limit - John Varhaus
Killer Poker - John Varhaus
Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold’em
I'd like a few more books: one or two focusing on no-limit cash games, but nothing fluffy or basic that is going to overlap what I already have. I enjoyed Hold'em for Advanced Players but unfortunately a lot of it is very specific to limit games which I don't play often. I really enjoy the play-of-hands stuff like in Roy Cooke's book and in Little Green Book and wouldn't mind something similar to this. I would also like a really good autobiography from a top pro, whatever you recommend. I also wouldn't mind an online hold'em book but only if there is something really good- I leafed through Brunson's and Varhaus' and they both seemed horribly fluffy. Thanks.
I'm awful online. I play mostly at casinos, do okay there but you get me online and everyone is so much tighter and aggressive it seems. Some more practice I guess. Funny thing is that at the casino I'm always happy to see an Internet player show up. They get ripped apart by all the players more accustomed to live games.
Ok I will get the Sklansky NL book. I will check out Weighing the Odds and get the Esfandiari book too- I was looking for an excuse to get that chip tricks dvd haha! Positively Fifth Street sounds funny, haven't heard of that one.
What do you think of Malmuth's Poker Essays books? Is there any particular one I should get or would they be overlapping my other Malmuth/Sklansky stuff?
Hey aliengenius -

That is an awesome book collection, I'm VERY envious!
It is my desire and intention to learn more about poker and to become a better player, which is why I came to CC a few weeks ago. However, some good books would be a very good route to build my knowledge so recommendations would be very welcome.
My interest (and therefore the books that would most benefit me) are limit ring games, currently low stakes (50c / $1). I have never played live (and have no desire to do so) so a bias towards on-line would be good. I would consider myself to be "advanced beginner" or "junior intermediate" (if that makes any sense) but would welcome recommendations from beginner level literature (just in case I'm not as good as I think) intermediate (which is where I think I probably am now) through to advanced (where I want to be).
Thanks in advance.
