Out of this list, I've read TOP, HOH, HFAP, and have skimmed through Hellmuth's book and imo TOP is far more important than HOH since it covers a far larger scope than any of the other books on this list. Hellmuth's book speaks for itself.

I've only read Sklansky's Tournament Poker and Theory of
Poker. I think I've learned more from lurking the forums and reading posts/HH though.

These poll results are correct. TOP is the most important, with HEPFAP and HoH being very good but not as key. Hellmuth's book is useless.

I've read them all, the poll results are correct. TOP is required reading, even for the seasoned pro. Hellmuth's book is widely recognized for the crap that it is, and Caro's is extremely overrated.
