Hi Rayvon, welcome to the Cardschat community! This site is in itself a great resource for enhancing your poker game, there are so many helpful threads on here for players of all ability levels, just have a bit of a browse! But if you're determined to go "old school" (ain't no school like the old school!) then Theory Of Poker by David Sklansky is a good starting point and Harrington On Hold'em (volumes 1 & 2) will give you more in-depth tactical advice specifically for No Limit Hold'em tournaments. Enjoy Cardschat and good luck at the tables!

You're very welcome, happy reading! Quick bit of advice: Get yourself stuck into the forums here on Cardschat and post 25 quality posts asap, so that you can play in the Friday freerolls (in addition to the Saturday ones that all members can play). From personal experience, the Friday freerolls have a much higher average skill level among the players, than many other freerolls I've played over the years. There's nothing better to help improve your game, than to play against skillful opponents. All the best!

I'll be looking into Evan Jarvis' list although I've read a couple of them before. Most recently I'm into Poker Math That Matters and Hole Card Confessions by Owen Gaines, The Course by Ed Miller and The Psychology of Poker by Alan Schoonmaker. Also enjoyed How to Dominate $1 and $2 No Limit Hold 'Em by Sam O'Connor. It's important to realize that reading books alone will not make you a better player. It's one tool out of many.

Hi Charlie

Thank you for the recommendations pal. I totally agree with you about the books alone wont make me a great poker player but I think maybe as a person who's be away from the game for many years I thought I can sharpen my tools with some new info.

I played poker back in the day just for a bit of fun, but now I want to take it to the next level and I know its going to take some time. I am really enjoying poker at the moment and hope it continues. I will look into what you recommend and many thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my post.

It's good that you touched on this topic))) there Are many people who would like to read good books about the game, but perhaps hesitate to ask.

thank you very much, I will definitely try to read everything (look through). Prices, of course, are interesting, but you can get them for free somewhere. It's time to find your library card)))

Thanks for creating such a topic and commenters for the answers. Hopefully the books will help me improve my playing skills

I would advise you to forget books and check around online, for how the modern game is played.
There is plenty of free stuff for you to build knowledge of the game.
Upswingpoker has a free positional starting hand chart, and for seven dollars how to play each hand category, post flop.
This is excellent stuff on which to build your game.
Tommy Angelo has some online posts that will teach you how to stay relaxed and deal with tilt. Have a look at this once you are happy you have mastered the basics.
If you build a tight image, then playing the other player's ranges will become easier. In their eyes when you open you will always have a good hand, when in fact many times you will be playing loose and stealing.
It's always good to remember you are playing against ranges and styles. rather than pocket v pocket.
I also suggest you invest in a HUD so as you can build knowledge on how your opponents play.

I would strongly recommend Jonathan Little's Mastering Small Stakes No-Limit Holdem.

As the title suggests it focuses on beating the small stakes game, so the concepts are more straight forward but will help build a really solid foundation for playing good poker.
