help me pick my next book

[jwvdcw]

I've read the following:

TOP
TPFAP
PL &NL Poker by Reuben and Ciaffone
Play Poker like the pros /images/graemlins/wink.gif
Caro's book of tells
Internet texas hold em by Hilger
Supersystem
Positively 5th street
HEPFAP
Psychology of Poker
Championship NL&PL HE by Cloutier

I usually play in the following events(usually online, rarely in person):

MTT NLHE tourneys
MTT limit HE tourneys
MTT PL omaha hi/lo 8 tourneys
STT NLHE tourneys
PL omaha hi/lo 8 ring games

Very occassionally, I'll dabble in some Omaha hi tourneys or some NLHE ring games as well.

So which books would you recommend that I read next? I could obviously use some hi/lo Omaha books. I also would like to use my FPPs at Stars to get a free book. They offer: Carson-HEP, Lee Jones-WLLHE(heard good things about this even though it doesn't fit my games, I'm interested in it), Krieger-IP, McEvoy-CSS, McEvoy-TP,McEvoy-CNL&PLHE.

Any suggestions from that list or should I save my FPPs for something better? Also any other recommendations for me? TIA.

Given the fact that your emphasis is on tourneys, you'll probably want to check out Malmuth's Gambling Theory and Other Topics. There's a lot of good general tourney stuff in there.

I have not read Ciaffone's book on Omaha, but that may suit you.

Ciaffone's Improve Your Poker is an excellent all-around poker book you'd probably enjoy.

From the books at Stars, none of those particularly excite me. The Jones and Carson books are both pretty good, but I think you're already past their level. Between the two of them, I'd probably recommend Carson for you (but perhaps Jones for a complete beginner). But, really, if you're in the market for a fixed-limit hold 'em book, get Ed Miller's SSH.

I agree with these two choices (GTOT in particular). I haven't read SSH or Improve Your Poker yet, but those are the next two books on my list.

Other than that, from your list, the only one worthwhile based on what you've read and your experience may be CSS by McEvoy/Daugherty. I think everything else is below what you've read so far and I don't think you'll gain much from them. The Clouter/McEvoy CNL book is gargabe, if you thinking along the no limit lines, go with McEvoy/Daugherty's New Player Series, it's way better written and offers sounder advice. But, I think that book is particularly suited for beginnners/novices, so I don't know what value you might find in that.

I think at some point you should eventually read all three volumes of Poker Essays and Inside the Poker Mind, as well.

I dunno..was just listing the books about poker that I've read.

BTW...forgot to include 'how to make $100K/year gambling for a living' on the list, but I've read that as well.
