Also, I'd listen more to someone who has been there and done that. Like Roy Cooke.

Of the mistakes you can make as an aspiring poker players (and they are legion) NOT listening to the advice of Dr. Al can be one of the most catastrophic: many of the fine 2+2 writers will tell you how to play better; few, except him, teach you how to live better.
While I recommend Theory of Poker and Small Stakes Hold 'em to new players immediately ... the third most should read (yes, even before Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players - if only because the advice there is mainly applicable in the games beyond $20-40) is Psychology of Poker.
Roy Cooke is fine, but he's no Dr. Al.

Barron's advice is fine ... but Barron is no Roy Cooke
