Default Another help me select which books thread..

So far i've read:

TOP
Carson's guide to playing and winning poker.
Psychology of Poker.

I've played for about 3 months and been beating the $1/$2 and $2/$4 games.

HPFAP is one of the books i will be buying next.

I'm wondering if i should buy Lee Jones' LL book or might i be past that?

I'm also wondering of any good 5 card stud books and No Limit books. I'm aiming to buy about 5, so lots of recommendations please.

Thanks.

Buy Inside The Poker Mind alongside HEFAP to fine tune your Hold'em game.

Bob Ciaffone & Reuben Stewart's Pot Limit And No Limit Poker is a must for No Limit Poker.

Default Five Card Stud Books

There are no great 5stud books but Norman Zadeh's 'Winning Poker Systems' has a useful chapter on 5stud.

Anyone from the UK know any websites that have Inside the Poker Mind available? Only amazon.com has it not co.uk and i don't think they will ship to the UK, i could be wrong though.

For new players, I recommend reading the following books in the order shown:
TOP/Sklansky
LLH/Jones
HFAP/Sklansky
MLH/Ciaffone

Once you get these down, then you can move on to No-limit.

Regards, Matthew

I got my copy from amazon.co.uk - and it's much cheaper than High Stakes. Amazon's site says 7-8 days for delivery. If you are in London, Foyle's also has a pretty decent selection of poker books - but these are all full price, of course. But amazon.co.uk is your best bet - unless you want to buy anything by Cloutier and McEvoy, and there are a few other bits and pieces that I've not managed to find there. Oh yeah - you can get books from ukpoker as well. And gamble.co.uk might have some, possibly.
