Default Re: Beginner Books

My first book was Sklansky and Malmuth's Hold 'Em Poker For Advanced Players. While most of the stuff was over my head when I first read it (most of it is probably still over my head for that matter), studying the hand rankings and memorizing which hands to play in which situations pre-flop allowed me to beat the .50/$1 tables from day one.

I've since read T.O.P. and just started WLLH, but I doubt I would have been an immediate winning low limit hold 'em player if I had read those books first.

Curious

I didn't see Super System mentioned at all. Is this because it's not for beginners, or because the information (like I have heard on other posts) is outdated?

Super System is a great "style" book . It will help you modify your style and win more pots, but you need to have a style first.
