Re: Top 10 Favorite Poker Books
Top Ten Best Poker Books (note: I only really play hold'em so this might as well be called top ten hold-em related books):
1. Theory of Poker
2. SSHE
3. HPFAP
4. How Good is your Limit Hold'em
5. Harrington on Hold'em One
6. Middle Limit Hold'em
7. Inside the Poker Mind
8. Super System (it's outdated, overrated and somewhat poorly written)
9. Weighing the Odds- King Yao
10. NL/PL Hold'em-Ciaffone
I have yet to read Improve Your Poker but Ciaffone rules so I am expecting great things.
Some overrated books:
SS2- a good chunk of this is the same as SS1 and a few chapters are absolute garbage...Brunson's Chapter on Internet Poker is a joke
Poker Essays I (I haven't gotten through 2 and 3 yet): if you read 2+2 and have read the above books, don't even bother. It's filled without a lot of information that has been covered 100 times on the forum. Also very dated.
WLLH by Lee Jones: this book is just not very good in comparison to the other intro poker books out there. I don't have the new edition with SNGs though...that might be good.
Also avoid anything written by Cloutier or Hellmuth.
