Book Reviews

[ChipLeader]

Ive read Theory of Poker, Tourny Poker for Advanced PLayers, Super System 1 & 2, and Harrington on HE 1 & 2.

Ive also read some others, such as Helmuth's and a couple McEvoys, but those mentioned above were the most advanced books i could find on tournament poker and the only ones i found extremely relevant. These others i found to be extremely beginner. I was wondering if there were any other recommendations for NL tournament play that has material not covered in any of the mentioned books.

Ive compiled a list of a few ive seen but havent read any reviews about:

"Essential Practice and Theory in No-Limit Hold'em Tournaments" by Avery Cardoza

The just released "Ace on the River" by Barry Greenstein

"Diary of a Mad Poker Player: A Journey to the World Series of Poker" by Richard Sparks

"The Making Of A Poker Player" by Matt Matros

"Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big With Expert Play"
by Ed Miller

"Aces and Kings : Inside Stories and Million-Dollar Strategies from Poker's Greatest Players"
by Brad Reagan, Michael Kaplan

"Tournament Poker & The Art Of War" by David Apostolico

"Inside the Poker Mind: Essays on Hold 'em and General Poker Concepts" by John Feeney

"Mastering No-Limit Hold'em" by Russell Fox, Scott T. Harker

"Play Poker Like Johnny Chan, Book One: Casino Poker" by Johnny Chan, Mark Karowe

These are all I could find, any DVDs or websites to find good advice would also be appreciated. I am aware of the essays on this website and on CardPlayer.com, and for DVDs ive got Ledderer's Secrets of HE and Caro's Poker Tells. Any others sites or DVDs?

This is a great book for limit poker, but has little if any relevance to NL play. Certainly nothing that you couldn't find in any of the other books mentioned. It's an absolute must if you plan on playing LHE at any point, though.

I'm not familiar with the other books you listed so I can't comment. You might want to try the software & books forum if you haven't already.

Thanks for the feedback, especially cause i was strongly considering buying this one- luckily i didnt because i dont play much limit and if i ever want to i already have plenty of material on the game.

Still a lot of books out there, no one has any reviews?

My review of this book will be forthcoming, but I don't know precisely when.
