Looking for a book with as much odds on holdem as you can. pre flop odds, out odds all kind of odds, drawing odds, all that kind of stuff, i think this is the weekest part of my game and im looking to imporve it. so what book would show me what im looking for?

Small Stakes Hold 'em is pretty good. Hold em Poker is also good.

Not sure of a good book to suggest, but I do have a website :

If you scroll all the way down they have preflop odds and postflop odds. I like the preflop odds because you set a hand and it tells you the chances of outcomes happening on the flop.

I sure hope it is b/c I've been wanting to buy this book, but it's $39.99 on Amazom, whereas it's only $24.95 on gamblersbook.com. If anyone has had good results from gamblersbook, please let us hear about it.

I believe this is a link to the Gambler's Bookstore in Las Vegas. It has quite a good reputation, and is very reliable by all accounts.

Their catalog is huge, too. I love this place.

Yes, it is the Las Vegas Gamblers Bookshop, and it is reliable. It's where I purchased the Odds book, and Omaha Poker by Bob Ciaffone as they were out of stock elsewhere.

Here's the link to the homepage:

Thanks. I just ordered the book from them. One thing I didn't think was too great, though, was that they don't tell you how much the shipping charge is at the time of completing the order. And I just got a confirmation of my order, with the charges listed, and even this confirmation has the shipping charges listed as "TBD." That's kind of boge, really. They could add $10.00 for S&H (for one book) and you might not know it until it went on your credit card. So, we wait and see what happens.

I know what your saying. I live in the UK so you can imagine the sweat I had going on. I can't remember exactly how much the cost of shipping came too, but it didn't hurt too badly (Arrived fairly quickly as well).
