blonde poker forum

No not for me  ;)

Me dad's starting to get into playing poker but apart for the little bits a have told him so far he's pretty much a total novice of the game and is looking for a book or two to read,he seems to be getting the bug already lol.Anyway can anyone recommend a good book for a beginner as i only have super system or harrington which i think is a bit to heavy for him at the moment.Cheers

LOL I've already read it on alex's computer via teamviewer... ... it's not that good imo so told him not to bother getting it

Winning at poker;essential hints and tips - by Dave Scharf is a good book to learn solid fundamentals from

Thanks all,and will use the link if bought through amazon

Sorry to go off topic, but does that affiliate link get Blonde money for any Amazon purchases? Coming up to xmas with most pressies bought off Amazon I might as well "give something back" given I'm fecking useless at actually playing on the cardroom :).

And if it does, I would be tempted at this time of year to publicise it more prominently :).

And to go back to topic, the best author I've read has to be John Vorhaus (IMHO). Not sure whether any of his are aimed at beginners though.

Yes, ANY purchases...

Yes and Yes

I normally plug the Amazon link this time of year, now I am reminded will do so shortly!

'Tis the link in my sig

You do have your uses then, tyvm

Splendid, as long as you make sure you have at least one post on every page on every thread then Kin.

Oh, hang on.... :)

I will do my bit ;)

hellmuths was the first book i ever read. It was pretty useful much the sole reason i am still a net loser.
