A nice selection of poker books from which we can all choose our favourites or find a gem that we hadn't seen before, and of course rely on some sound advice from forum members following their reading of the book they recommend.
As for me, my starting book was the great HARRINGTON ON HOLDEM series. Great books albeit potentially dated now in some respects, with many players varying what they do far more greatly than indicated in the book.
Another book that is quite old but recommended to me by some others is THE THEORY OF POKER by David Sklansky. I see some other members have suggested this book too.
My final choice is TEXAS HOLDEM by Phil Hellmuth. An easy book to read and some great advice in there.

Hello players! My best book are:
"The Mental Game of Poker: Proven Strategies for Improving Tilt Control, Confidence, Motivation, Coping with Variance, and More" by Jared Tendler, Barry Carter
"Doyle Brunson's Super System" by Doyle 'Texas Dolly' Brunson
In the summary I recomendes add books:
"The fundamental theorem of poker" by David Sklansky
„Mental Edge” by Leszek „Lechrumski”
„Power Holdem Strategy" by Daniel Negreanu
The mindset and psychology issue in poker is the most important thing that we should start learning poker! Many players make the most important mistake and forget about the psychology of poker!
A very good new book is „Mental Edge” by Leszek „Lechrumski” It must be in the book list.
I like books by David Sklansky. We should not forget about the key classic book of this author "The fundamental theorem of poker". David Sklansky was the first to offer a starting card classification, which proved to be very useful, especially in the context of general poker tips. Although a lot of time has passed, his books still are up to date today!
As a curiosity that can complement our game with unconventional methods, I also recommend "Quantum Poker: Everything You Need to Know About Poker" by Derric Haynie.
Don't forget about books by Daniel Negreanu. His "Power Holdem Strategy" became a huge hit in 2008, because the Canadian showed in it his famous small ball strategy, on the basis of which the game is practically to this day.
Good luck with pure mindset in poker!

Judging by the reviews of the publication Harrington hold the first place among books about poker.
So the books are still not outdated as some argue that there is no point in reading them anymore[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

My second recommended book is:
The Mathematics of Poker
Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1886070...=9050376&hvtargid=pla-452523539226&th=1&psc=1
Described as "For decades, the highest level of poker have been dominated by players who have learned the game by playing it, ""road gamblers"" who have cultivated intuition for the game and are adept at reading other players' hands from betting patterns and physical tells. Over the last five to ten years, a whole new breed has risen to prominence within the poker community. Applying the tools of computer science and mathematics to poker and sharing the information across the Internet, these players have challenged many of the assumptions that underlay traditional approaches to the game".

Thanks for the list Debi.
I have a kindle by D. Negreanu. A good book, but my prefered one is Every Hand Revealed by Gus Hansen. That is the method that suits me most: the analysis of hands in context (position, stack size, outs, equity, villain's characteristic, etc.).
I have not read any of the books on the list, so I can not support or eliminate them. I can only thank, again, the initiative.
Cheers,

The Book "Mind Games" 1 & 2 . In my opinion, a great book that helps to cope with tilt and be resistant to the blows of fate at the poker table. The book focuses on the psychological side of poker, which I think is an important criterion for a successful poker player. I confess I did not read it, but listened and it struck me. I recommend all the more it is an audiobook.

I once tried to read this book, but my knowledge of English and poker terminology did not allow me to understand it completely.

Hello, I had the opportunity to read some books that are in this collection, I would not eliminate either because they are many books and teaching strategies, but if you add some who are in Spanish for example Win at Poker - David Sklansky. There are several that I have not read but that caught my attention, so I'll try to read, thank you very much for this collection.

I would not remove any books from the list, because all the books on the list have enough information to become good poker players, putting all this content together with practice, surely we will be good. I would like to inform Brazilian beginners to read a content available in pdf, "learning to play poker" is a book written by a Brazilian that certainly opened my eyes to the plays.

Had the 2 free books award given yet? I would really love to win this prize, cause I am starting to take poker more seriously lately and I would really love some books to start with.
I really think Poker Theory of David Sklansky its the first book you definately have to add to your list. I think it still gets good reviews and is a top 10 for sure in most poker books lists!

By the way, have anyone idea, if there are some books or part of some book dedicated topics like GTO, working with post-flop solvers and balancing game? Would be very appreciated to have some clues about!

In my opinion, this books are really good enough. I,ve heard something about them and i,m sure, that they can be usefull for everybody.To be honest, i haven,t read a single poker book yet, but this is just because in our country it,s really hard to find them. Anyway, i,m sure, that lots of good players starting their poker careers with this books many years ago.
