So please rank these books

Poker Essays - Mason Mulmuth

Poker Essays, Volume II

Inside the Poker Mind: Essays on Hold 'em and General Poker Concepts - John Feeney;

Poker Essays, Volume III - Mason Malmuth;

Pot-Limit & No-Limit Poker - Stewart Reuben;

Harrington on Hold'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments: Endgame, 2 - Dan Harrington

Sharp Sports Betting - Stanford Wong

Weighing the Odds in Hold’em Poker - King Yao

Ace on the River: An Advanced Poker Guide - Barry Greenstein;

Improve Your Poker - Bob Ciaffone

[cwsiggy]

Well, they are so different but since you are buying three or four I would say get
Harrington's for tourney play
Inside the Poker Mind - for Pschology - maybe sub with one of the Poker Essays book
Weighing the Odds - for limit play
Ace on the River - for a "fun" coffee table book with real pretty pics.

Think about what you like to play most. If you like football get the sports betting book, but if you like nl tournaments get Harrington. If you like poker essays get the Essays, but buy them in order.

I realize they are all quite different. I'm just looking to generaly continue to improve my poker game. I already must have atleast 15-20 gambling related books. I'm just looking to increase the collection. I guess I'm definatly gonna get HOH-2 because I've already read the first one. I know nothing about sports betting, but would like to start doing that recreationaly. I thought about Barry's book because I figured itd be an easy/fun/interesting read. Anybody highly recomend any of the books I listed though? Also remember I'm looking for another gambling novel aswell.

I'm not sure, but I don't think that Wong's book is a good primer on sports betting. It is supposed to be excellent though. You might want to make a seperate post on this so that you can hear the opinion of people who know. Also, perhaps you will find it useful to ask the sports betting forum for advice.

I would get:
1. Poker Wisdom of a Champion / Aces and Kings (for novel)
2. Harrington on Hold'em 2 (for tourney's since you read the first)
3. Weighing the Odds in Hold'em Poker
4. Inside the Poker Mind

You can get Poker Essays I,II, & III from a vendor at ebay for about $36 + shipping.

I just ordered them, Inside the Poker Mind, and Poker, Gaming, and Life for about $75 including shipping. I am in no way affiliated with ebay or this vendor, just thought I would pass on some information.
