Poker Book Rankings

HitmanHoldem · #1 06-01-2005, 01:10 AM

Just wanted to start a thread where people can rank what they feel are the most informative and helpful poker books. Make the list as long as you like, but just be sure to order them as your favorite being #1 on the list.

If anyone knows any links where people have already done this, just link me there. Thanks.

I would say look past the first page of posts.

But these should help u out:

Good page of Book reviews

Rolf Slotbooms Book Reviews/Ratings -- a pretty awesome list of ratings/reviews. He writes for cardplayer magazine. Its the lowest link, on the left side of his homepage.

There's also a fellow who has reviewed damn near every poker book known to man.

ack! My apologies; I did not notice that. I guess I must have clicked the second link and thought it was the first or some such - sorry about that. I'll try to edit the original post to fix things.

*edit: guess not - it says the maximum time has expired [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. Sorry again.

I cant click on Rolfs book reviews. there is a banner in flash that covers that link. Could you post the direct link?

There is no direct link, but maybe you are looking in the wrong spot. Either that or u are getting some weird pop up my Firefox browser is blocking. Try this:

I had the same problem. I fixed it by clicking on "View" in Internet Explorer and bascially eliminating all the toolbars, then I dragged the taskbar down and off the desktop. Now it works.

Rolf Slotboom is an accomplished player and writer and his reviews are quite knowledgeable. Nick Christenson, on the other hand, has little grasp of the English language and absolutely no poker knowledge. His reviews are useless.
