Even though Rand herself might look askance at supporting one's self through playing poker, and despite the fact that I disagree with her categorization of libertarians as "hippies of the right," I still find myself in agreement with most aspects of Objectivist philosophy.

Default Winning Low Limit Hold\'em

My favorite is Winning Low Limit Hold'em by Lee Jones. That's the book that has helped my game the most; it's easy read, and the concepts are easy to apply.
