At this point in time I own:

"The Theory of Poker" - David Sklansky
"Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players" - Sklansky & Malmuth
"Super System" - Doyle Brunson

What would be an appropriate order to read these books if any? Just wondering if one could possibly be considered as something close to a pre requisite for another one. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

1. "The Theory of Poker" - David Sklansky
2. "Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players" - Sklansky & Malmuth
3. "Super System" - Doyle Brunson
I've only read Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players so far, it's not as worthwhile if you don't read the Theory of Poker first. On a side not, does anyone know any websites that teach you the probabilities of poker? Like exact percentages of certain hands holding up against others? Thanks! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's the order I was thinking. Anyone else disagree or have another order they'd read them in?

Super System was written a long time ago and is generally regarded as outdated. Super System 2 was just released, I haven't read it.

BTW- this would be more appropriate in the books/software forum.

Anyway, read TOP and then HEFAP. Don't bother with super system.
