QQ for Books to Improve Card Reading/Understanding Styles

PJM1206 · #1 07-19-2005, 09:52 AM

I was looking for some recommendations for reading material on playing stlyes that is, Loose Passive, Loose Aggressive, Tight Aggressive etc. I just got through reading the Psychology of Poker by Schoonmaker and was looking to find out other books/material on this topic that you would recommend. Also books on improving card reading skills would be helpfull as well.

What I have already read:
Psyccology of Poker
SSHE
Holdem for Adv Players
Super System
Play poker Like the Pros
Theory of Poker
Poker For Dummies
No Limit Holdem
Caro's Book of Tells
WLLH (yes)
maybe a couple other

Thanks

Psyccology of Poker

Please discuss the value of this book in regard to your library, as you have some utter junk and some of the best titles out.

I highly recommend THIS ONE.

What I found of value was the discussion on playing styles and the characteristics of the players. For exmaple he discusses why a passive player will bet out with a good hand and very seldom if it all bluff. He also gives characteristics of the players such that categorizing plays becomes a bit more objective and accurate.

I'm at work and searching archives yields "gambling." Furthermore, I'm asking how it compares to other books in his library.

PJM, repeated posts about the same topic = forum regulars making clever posts that refer you to the search function of the forum

the ?? was for the other person who replied. Below is the value I got from the psyccology of Poker. I think reading different authors on the saem subject is helpfull. Just unsure if there are any real good reads.
