Re: Best poker books
I disagree. I look upon it as a companion to SSH, but bc it's not packed full of what to do here or there type of info some might not get value but I guess maybe I've find it harder than most relating to stupid idiots at the table which is where this book had value.

Re: Best poker books
I recommend Super System II among all the other great discussions. Doyles sections is great on playing NL agreesively. The limit secion written by Jennifer Harmon is great as well.
As I am starting to branch out to Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo I am finding SS II a great resource for those as well. As already mentioned Harrington's book is greate for tourneys. Lots of examples. The Sklansky library is a must have also.

Re: Best poker books
Speaking of Vol. II's, I know this has been asked in other threads but I still have yet to find an answer. Any idea when Harrington Vol. II is due out, I've made it through 3/4 so far, and not only is it a great tourney book but also a great read. My random number generator really spiced up my play this weekend especially mixing it up with the Hammer and the Rope a dope, I was raised and reraised and my opponents couldn't come close to putting me on a hand.

Re: Best poker books
No one here has mentioned Bob Ciaffone's books. His PL&NL book with Stewart Reuben is very highly regarded in the PL&NL forums.
His limit hold'em book (Middle Limit Holdem) with Jim Brier has its critics, but most agree its a well done book. While SSHE assumes very loose opponents, MLHE assumes tighter more competent opponents, and thus some divergence in advice. The two books complement each other. Paul

Re: Best poker books
Dan Harrington's Book is one of the very best books, and also Mike Caro's Book of Poker Tells is a great book, and of course Small Stakes was good, was well as the Tournament poker book by Sklansky.

Re: Best poker books
There sure is a lot of crap in this thread.
What books you need depend on your level of skill and the type of games you play. Assuming you are a beginner limit player then you would be best to start with. Winning Low Limit Holdem Internet Texas Holdem Small Stakes Holdem Theory of Poker From there you can go to Middle Limit Holdem Holdem Poker For Advanced Players Thats pretty much the best way for a beginner to go. Once you have gone through all those you pretty much have to read anything else available SS1&2, POP, ITPM, Killer Poker series (no good for beginners), Poker Essays etc. You'll find more information in the books/publcations forum.
